Execaire Ottawa achieves IS-BAH registration
Achieving IS-BAH Registration provides customers with the confidence that every aspect of the ground handling experience is supported by globally recognised best practices.
Now the Ottawa FBO is recognised for excellence, Execaire Aviation will extend IS-BAH registration across its other Canadian facilities over the course of the year.

Execaire Aviation’s Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International airport FBO has officially achieved International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) registration, becoming the only FBO in Canada to hold this internationally recognised distinction.

“This achievement is a testament to the dedication, professionalism and commitment of our Ottawa team,” says Rudy Scholaert, airside ground operations and maintenance SVP. “Safety has always been the foundation of everything we do. Achieving IS-BAH registration further reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest standard of service while providing our customers with the confidence that every aspect of their ground handling experience is supported by globally recognised best practices.”

The Ottawa registration marks the first step in a broader initiative to implement IS-BAH across all Execaire Aviation’s Canadian FBO locations over the course of this year.

“This milestone reflects our long-term vision of continuously raising the bar for business aviation in Canada,” adds Scholaert. “Congratulations to our Ottawa team for setting a new benchmark for operational excellence and helping position Execaire Aviation at the forefront of our industry.”
