With the introduction of the Tailwinds Safety Program and the launch of AmalfiShield, Amalfi Jets is taking a proactive approach to risk management.

LA-based Amalfi Jets has launched its inaugural Stand Up for Safety Day as part of its ongoing commitment to safety and excellence. This landmark event celebrates the introduction of the Amalfi Tailwinds Safety Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to ensure that every member of the Amalfi team is fully versed in aviation safety standards.

As part of the Tailwinds programme, all Amalfi employees participate in an immersive safety demonstration and complete an internal quiz to mitigate safety risks and allow the Amalfi team to work effectively in partnership with operators. This rigorous process reinforces Amalfi’s core value of maintaining the highest safety standards throughout the organisation. To further solidify its dedication to safety, Amalfi invited Richard Mend, CEO of Mend Aviation, FAA FAASTeam representative and host of various aviation seminars at Van Nuys airport, to deliver a talk on regulatory compliance and best practices, providing valuable insights directly from an industry authority.

Amalfi Jets is also thrilled to unveil AmalfiShield, an innovative risk assessment system developed to work in tandem with operators before each flight.

“At Amalfi, the safety of our clients and crew is our highest priority,” says founder and CEO Kolin Jones. “With the introduction of our Tailwinds Safety Program and the launch of AmalfiShield, we’re taking a proactive approach to risk management. By thoroughly assessing potential risks before every flight, we're not only elevating our operational safety but also providing our clients with the peace of mind they deserve.”

AmalfiShield allows the flight operations team to input the parameters of upcoming flights and calculate a risk assessment, in which it can reach out and work in tandem with operator partners to reduce risk factors such as weather, weight & balance, airport location, etc.
