US Part 135 Prime Jet has been named as an ARGUS Platinum Operator, placing it in the upper five per cent of over 1,000 US-based charter operators. The Platinum rating is the highest level in the ARGUS audit standard and is awarded only to those air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices regarding their operations and maintenance.
Achieving an ARGUS Platinum rating is a testament to the aviation community that safety is Prime Jet's top priority. The ARGUS Platinum rating consists of an audit that takes an in-depth look into the quality of documented processes in addition to the strength of the safety management system implemented by the operator. Receiving a Platinum rating means the operation was examined over several days by a team of on-site auditors and subsequently completed any corrective actions necessary to meet the standard.
“ARGUS International would like to congratulate Prime Jet on its successful conclusion of its ninth Platinum audit,” says Ed Wandall, ARGUS International vice president, business aviation. “Our auditors found a strong safety culture and solid policy and procedures. Its continued growth, led by a strong leadership team, is further evidence that Prime Jet is an industry leader.”
“Just as in our previous ARGUS Platinum audits, our most recent was smooth, efficient and painless from start to finish. The audit team was very knowledgeable and well-prepared. They were professional, thorough and fair, and afterwards provided some excellent recommendations to help improve our operation. Overall, a great experience,” notes Bob Schreffler, director of safety, Prime Jet.
