Fort Lauderdale, Florida-headquartered aircraft management and charter company Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter has become an ARGUS Platinum Elite operator.

Platinum Elite-rated operators are continuously monitored by the ARGUS team; 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.

“We are incredibly proud to receive the ARGUS Platinum Elite certification,” says CEO Barry Ellis. “This achievement reflects our team’s hard work and commitment to providing the safest and most reliable service to our clients. We will continue to uphold these high standards and strive for excellence in all aspects of our operations.”

“Barry Ellis and I have been on this journey together for more than 30 years,” adds chief pilot David Donovan. “Through it all, our commitment to excellence and our shared vision have remained unwavering. We are both immensely proud of our whole crew. Their dedication, hard work and resilience are the backbone of our achievements. This recent milestone is not just a testament to our collective efforts but also a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together with passion and purpose.”

Founded in 1976, Hop-A-Jet has a diverse fleet of modern aircraft and a team of highly experienced professionals offering on-demand charter, aircraft management and maintenance.

“ARGUS is delighted to welcome Hop-A-Jet as our latest Platinum Elite participant. It has a long history of consistently adhering to the Platinum standard, and we look forward to helping it maintain exceptionally high best practices through the Elite continuous monitoring programme,” says president Mike McCready.
