Boca Raton, Florida-based Novus Jet Charter and Otter Air Services, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan have joined the Air Charter Safety Foundation's Aviation Safety Action Program, a beacon of proactive safety measures playing a pivotal role in identifying and addressing potential flight safety concerns. Administered by the ACSF in collaboration with the FAA, ASAP is renowned for its innovative, transparent and self-reporting mechanism, allowing aviation operators to report, track and resolve safety issues with the support of a third-party facilitator, without the fear of punishing or disciplinary actions.

"With the addition of Novus Jet Charter and Otter Air Services to our esteemed ASAP programme, we are further solidifying our commitment to enhancing safety standards within the aviation community," says ACSF president and CEO Bryan Burns. "Both companies bring a wealth of experience and a strong safety culture to the table, aligning perfectly with our mission of fostering safety values and continuous improvement."

Novus Jet Charter boasts a reputation for excellence in private jet charter services, while Otter Air Services, a Pilatus fleet operator, is renowned for its unwavering dedication to safety and operational excellence.

The ACSF is confident that adding these two distinguished members will strengthen the ASAP program and contribute to the overarching goal of advancing safety practices across the aviation industry.
