ARGUS bestows Platinum rating on flyExclusive again
FlyExclusive's retained Platinum status confirms top tier safety protocols across its safety management system, emergency response plan, organisational controls, operating procedures, and training programmes.
FlyExclusive is a major Citation operator.

flyExclusive has once again earned the ARGUS Platinum rating, one of the highest recognitions in private aviation, reinforcing the company's commitment to safety, reliability and procedural excellence across its operations.

Headquartered in Kinston, North Carolina, flyExclusive offers on-demand charter, jet club and fractional ownership services to destinations across the globe. It has one of the world's largest fleets of Cessna Citation aircraft, and it operates a combined total of approximately 100 jets, ranging from light to large cabin sizes.

The company has satisfied ARGUS rating requirements every year since 2015, completing all required audits over that period. Its retained Platinum status confirms top tier safety protocols across its safety management system, emergency response plan, organisational controls, operating procedures, and training and maintenance programmes.

“At flyExclusive, safety isn't just our top priority; it's the foundation of how we operate,” says Matthew Lesmeister, chief operating officer. “Our top tier safety certifications through ARGUS, Wyvern and IS-BAO reflect our relentless commitment to a culture of safety, risk management and operational excellence across every part of the business for our customers, our crews and our entire team.”

The ARGUS Platinum safety certification is awarded by ARGUS International after a comprehensive evaluation of safety culture, risk management and regulatory compliance.
