Harrods Aviation has achieved Stage III accreditation with IS-BAH, the highest level of approval within the programme. IS-BAH is globally recognised as the benchmark for best practices in the industry. Becoming the first UK FBO to attain this prestigious accreditation is a testament to Harrods Aviation's unwavering commitment to safety, efficiency and exceptional customer service.

The framework provided by IS-BAH allowed us to build our safety landscape in a smart, manageable and measurable way. We highly recommend its adoption to other FBOs looking to elevate their SMS compliance, especially with new ground handling regulations on the horizon.”

IS-BAH programme director at IBAC, Terry Yeomans, adds: “Congratulations to the whole team at Harrods Aviation Luton and Stansted on showing their continual commitment to the voluntary implementation of the IS-BAH. As one of the early participants in the programme, Harrods has has progressively built on its achievements at Stage I to Stage II and has been able to evidence a positive safety culture in meeting Stage III registration criteria.”
