US FBO network APP Jet Center has achieved Base Operation certification from ARGUS International.

“The ARGUS audit provides a thorough blueprint for safe operations while including the essentials for professional and friendly customer service. ARGUS is a widely respected name that our customers know and trust. After having gone through the auditing process, it is easy to see why,” says CEO Daniel Harrow.

“Our team has been deeply impressed by ARGUS’s professionalism and dedication to detail. Its meticulous approach, combined with a wealth of experience, has provided a comprehensive blueprint for setting the standard in base operations. Furthermore, Tony Jobusch, much like the ARGUS’s auditing criteria, was thorough, professional and made the process remarkably pleasant,” adds director of safety Jonathan Mills.

The Base Operations Audit and rating programme encourages and assists companies in reducing ground incidents and damage to aircraft and company assets. ARGUS dives deeply into safety, service and facilities to make sure customers visiting certified FBOs from around the world can trust in standards set forth.

“ARGUS is delighted to have all of APP Jet Center’s locations certified to our Base Operations standard. This is a notable achievement and a testament to its dedication to the highest standards of safety and quality,” says president Mike McCready.

“Having personally audited all four APP Jet Centers over the last year, I can attest to the fact that APP Jet has set the gold standard for fixed base operators,” adds programme manager, business aviation Tony Jobusch. “Jonathan Mills and his safety teams have developed, established and maintained the absolute highest level safety management system congruent with the ARGUS Bases Operations safety standards, while also maintaining an unwavering commitment to the environment and sustainability. Operators, flight crews and passengers alike receive the unmatched attention and service often missing at many fixed base operations. ARGUS Pros is proud to have all four APP Jet locations as part of the ARGUS Certified Base Operation family.”
