The company's successful recertification was secured after a successful audit that highlighted its global safety standards and operational integrity.
Victor’s Abu Dhabi leadership team claimed the ARGUS Certified Broker trophy.

Victor has been recertified as an ARGUS Certified Broker, reinforcing its position as a trusted and transparent partner for private jet clients worldwide. The achievement follows the company’s April 2024 headquarters opening in Abu Dhabi, which marked significant expansion across the MENA region.

The appointments of vice presidents Matthew Kirkham and Lorne-Scott Dempster in Abu Dhabi also reflect Victor’s focus on regional growth. ARGUS certification underscores the company’s commitment to safety, service and operational excellence around the globe.

ARGUS certification is awarded following a thorough audit covering structure, controls, operator vetting, emergency planning and trip feasibility. Clients using ARGUS Certified Brokers can be assured of high standards for safety and service.

Patrick Chiles, ARGUS International vice president business aviation audit programmes, says: “ARGUS is pleased to have Victor as a certified charter broker. Its renewal audit went extremely well, with Victor demonstrating it has the resources and institutional commitment to safety, quality and customer service.”
