AB achieves ARGUS Platinum rating once more
It is the 10th consecutive years that AB Jets has attained ARGUS Platinum. The business has an exciting year ahead; in addition to its Learjet fleet it is planning to add three Bombardier Challenger 3500 aircraft.
AB is a Learjet specialist.

Memphis, Tennessee-based Learjet 60 operator AB Jets has renewed its ARGUS Platinum rating, a distinction first achieved in 2014 and maintained consecutively since. This renewal follows a rigorous in-house audit conducted every two years. This significant milestone comes in AB Jets 25th year of operation as the company prepares for an exciting period of growth and fleet expansion.

“Achieving the ARGUS Platinum rating for the 10th consecutive year is a testament to the extraordinary efforts of our team,” says Andrew Bettis, founder and president of AB Jets. “As we continue to grow, this achievement emphasises our focus on providing safe, exceptional service.”

The renewal aligns with AB Jets' plans to expand its fleet in 2025. Currently consisting of nine Learjet 60s, the fleet will grow to include three Challenger 3500 aircraft in 2025.

The ARGUS Platinum rating is a benchmark of the highest safety standards in aviation. Operators awarded this distinction undergo rigorous evaluations of their SMS, policies and procedures. AB Jets' decade-long recognition underscores its dedication to providing passengers with a safe and reliable travel experience.
