The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Executive Fliteways, Ronkonkoma, NY and Sun Air Jets, Camarillo, CA have renewed their status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) Registry.

“By renewing their status on the IAS Registry, they have demonstrated their commitment to high standards,” said ACSF President Bryan Burns. “We congratulate them on their continued dedication.”

“Executive Fliteways is proud to be a part of the Air Charter Safety Foundation team,” said John Grillo, president and CEO. “The recent audit by ACSF helped enhanced our practices and safety culture as we continue to pursue the safest operation possible.”

The IAS is the first and only extensive audit program specifically created for on-demand operators by a committee of Part 135 and 91K industry leaders. It is conducted every 24 months and is in-depth in its evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operator’s SMS program against both FAA and international standards.

“Sun Air Jets recognizes the incredible importance of providing the highest level of aviation safety, and commends our team for a successful ACSF renewal,” said Charlie O’Dell, director of operations. “We have built our corporate culture around continuous improvement of our safety systems and utilize the ACSF audit as a benchmark that we strive to elevate each time our company is evaluated.”
