Elevate Jet adds ARGUS Platinum to list of accolades
Achieving the ARGUS Platinum rating is a testament to the aviation community that safety is Elevate Jet's top priority. The Platinum rating consists of an audit that takes an in-depth look into documented processes.

Elevate Jet has been recognised as an ARGUS Platinum operator, which places it in the upper five per cent of more than 1,000 US-based charter operators. The Platinum rating is a higher level in the ARGUS audit standard and is awarded only to those air charter operators that have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices regarding their operations and maintenance.

Achieving the ARGUS Platinum rating is a testament to the aviation community that safety is Elevate 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.

“The ARGUS audit continues to be a helpful and knowledgeable process so that our company can continue to operate at the highest level for our clients. The entire auditing process takes months and is a dedicated effort from both companies to come together and work towards solutions that meet strict standards to ensure we are providing world-class solutions that prioritise best safety practices,” says TJ Westerberg, director of air carrier safety at Elevate Jet.

“As a client-first company, safety is our top priority. The ARGUS audit allows us to further our commitment to the safety of our clients and team by ensuring we remain vigilant in that endeavour. We are thrilled to renew our ARGUS Platinum certification, which demonstrates adherence to best practices in the industry and sets the standard for safety in private aviation,” adds David M. Allen, COO at Elevate Jet.

Elevate Jet demonstrated a commitment to safety and quality throughout its organisation, and we are pleased to count it as one of our Platinum-rated operators. This rating shows a dedication to the highest standards of industry best practices and distinguishes Elevate Jet among charter and aircraft management providers,” comments Mike McCready, ARGUS International president.

Acquired in 2022, Elevate Jet is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elevate Aviation Group. It has been a premier provider of aircraft charter, management, and sales and brokerage services for almost 30 years. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the aviation company maintains a diverse fleet of private jet aircraft for charter to fit any trip or budget and provides tailored travel solutions to meet business and personal travel needs.
