CLEVELAND – Oct. 3, 2014 - Aitheras Aviation Group received the ARGUS Platinum Rating from ARGUS International, Inc., an aviation research and rating organization. This classification is the highest level of ARGUS ratings. Only 119 of the approximate 1,200 air charter operators in the United States hold this distinction.
In order to receive the Platinum Rating, air charter operators must demonstrate successful implementation of industry best safety practices relative to their operations and maintenance. ARGUS reported no deficiency findings in their audit of Aitheras' operations, safety, personnel and maintenance policies and practices. This exemplary result is seldom found by the ARGUS team.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the Aitheras crew,” said George Katsika, President and CEO. “Earning this prestigious rating is truly a testament to our commitment of creating the strongest safety culture in the industry.”
