Sun Air Jets has joined the elite group of business aircraft operators that form part of the ARGUS International continuous monitoring audit programme, Platinum Elite.

"Sun Air Jets is excited to be part of such a safety conscious organisation. We are raising the bar with the Platinum Elite rating," says director of operations Ed Fares.

Platinum Elite is an industry-changing programme available to select ARGUS Platinum rated operators that features real-time operational safety performance monitoring and timely visibility to significant operator changes. While traditional audit programmes require audits every two years, Platinum Elite offers continual evaluation.

"Sun Air Jets obtaining Platinum Elite proves its commitment to safety and quality as a top operator. All of us at ARGUS International have been impressed with its operation and are proud to have it as a Platinum Elite rated operator," says president Mike McCready.

All ARGUS Platinum Elite operators have achieved not only ARGUS Gold but a minimum of two cycles of the ARGUS Platinum rating to be eligible for the Platinum Elite continuous monitoring programme.
