Safety Standards
ARG/US Platinum Standard
ACP Jets is one of less than 100 Air Carrier Operations worldwide to receive the ARG/US Platinum rating, having completed a stringent on-site audit by the same audit teams that audit the world’s airlines under EASA standards. Aviation Research Group/ US (ARG/US) is the leading provider of on-site safety audits, operational standards, market research and safety reporting to business aviation.
Acheving the Platinum Standard requires a well-developed Safety Management System, a clear and workable Emergency Response Plan, effective policies and procedures, and documented records for all aspects of operations and maintenance within a flight department or charter operation.
IS-BAO Stage II

ACP Jets is one of fewer than 20 Charter Operators in the US to have achieved IS-BAO Stage II standard. IS-BAO is the recognized worldwide business aviation code of practice, modeled on the IS-9000 family of standards.
