Million Air Dallas introduces transparent safety initiative
The ASAP programme is designed to promote a proactive safety culture by encouraging pilots and mechanics to voluntarily report any safety-related issues or events without fear of reprisal. Million Air has signed up.
Don Rickerhauser says the programme will mitigate risk.

Million Air Dallas is launching the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for its flight operations and maintenance teams. This new initiative marks a significant step in the Addison airport-based business jet operator's ongoing commitment to enhancing aviation safety and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability.

The ASAP programme is designed to promote a proactive safety culture by encouraging pilots and mechanics to voluntarily report any safety-related issues or events without fear of reprisal. This initiative supports Million Air Dallas' mission to create a safer operating environment by providing a structured mechanism for identifying and addressing potential safety hazards.

“Implementing ASAP is a testament to our commitment to aviation safety and continuous improvement,” says Don Rickerhauser, president and CEO at Million Air Dallas. “This programme will empower our teams to report safety issues freely and help us identify and mitigate risks effectively. Our ultimate goal is to ensure a safe and reliable experience for all our clients and staff.”

In addition, Rodrigo Pezzoni, director of safety at Million Air Dallas, states: “The ASAP programme represents a critical evolution in how we approach safety management. By encouraging open communication and addressing issues proactively, we are not only enhancing our operational standards but also reinforcing our dedication to the highest levels of safety and professionalism.”

Million Air Dallas has been a leading provider of private aviation services for 40 years, offering aircraft charter, Part 135 and 91 management, maintenance management and FBO services. It is dedicated to maintaining the highest safety standards and looks forward to the positive impact that the ASAP programme will bring to its operations.
