Jet Aviation has become an ARGUS Platinum Elite operator.

“Safety is at the core of everything we do,” says vice president flight services David Dalpiaz. “We are delighted to be awarded the ARGUS Platinum Elite certification and to take part in its continuous monitoring programme as a further commitment to ensuring our customers and their aircraft are always in the safest hands. I would like to thank our dedicated team, whose efforts behind the scenes have enabled this achievement.”

“Our promise is to provide our customers with a seamless service across all aspects of their charter experience” adds Leslie Cheshier, vice president, owner and charter services. “Committing to the highest industry safety standards, such as the ARGUS Platinum Elite certification, alongside world-class service and attention to detail, are key to enabling us to continue as our customers’ charter partner of choice.”

ARGUS Platinum standards feature 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. All ARGUS Platinum Elite operators have achieved not only ARGUS Gold but a minimum of two cycles of the ARGUS Platinum rating.

ARGUS vice president business aviation Ed Wandall explains: “Platinum Elite was designed to recognise the very best operators in the charter industry. For the 15 years Jet Aviation has participated in our audit programme, it has consistently demonstrated operational excellence. We couldn’t be more proud to invite Jet Aviation into the Platinum Elite programme.”
