Worldwide Jet Charter, a US Part 135 headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, has been honoured by ARGUS International as a Platinum Elite operator. The Platinum Elite rating requires operators to meet the ARGUS Platinum standards set forth for an operator to become Platinum rated. Once Platinum rated, an operator can request to go beyond the Platinum rating and become Platinum Elite rated. At this level, operators simultaneously meet the ARGUS Platinum standards, which is the highest standard globally, and agree to be continuously monitored by the ARGUS team.

Platinum Elite is an industry-changing programme available to select ARGUS Platinum rated operators. The programme 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.

“Worldwide Jet has repeatedly demonstrated itself to be an outstanding operator through its long history of successful ARGUS Platinum audits. We are delighted to welcome it into the Platinum Elite programme and look forward to its continuing contributions toward raising the bar for aviation safety and operational quality,” says Ed Wandall, ARGUS International vice president business aviation.

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.

“Worldwide Jet Charter is proud to reaffirm our commitment to safety by becoming an Argus Platinum Elite operator,” adds Tyler Sinclair, director of safety.
