ARGUS International joined forces with AerLogics to launch a new safety framework for business aviation that merges ARGUS’s Platinum and Platinum Elite rating systems with AerLogics’ AerStar performance rating. The collaboration aimed to create a new standard for real-time operational transparency and safety performance.

The ARGUS Platinum and Platinum Elite audits have long been recognised for verifying operators who meet the highest safety, quality and operational integrity standards. AerLogics’ AerStar performance rating adds a real-time data-driven layer, analysing flight performance against risk indicators to assess how effectively operators manage aircraft in-flight.

The integration of ARGUS’s audit programmes with AerLogics’ live monitoring delivers a complete picture of operator safety, from pre-flight validation to ongoing in-flight oversight.

“Bringing together the real-time monitoring of flight performance through the AerLogics AerStar rating and the Platinum and Platinum Elite audit brings forth a new level of understanding for passengers on jets,” says Mike McCready, president of ARGUS International. “They can easily see which operators are performing the best in the industry.”

“This collaboration is a major step forward in aviation safety,” adds Rob Handley, president at AerLogics. “By combining our real-time AerStar performance rating insights with ARGUS’s trusted audit framework, we’re giving the industry a powerful tool to measure, understand and improve operator performance like never before.”
