Cincinnati, Ohio, February 8, 2016
ARGUS International, Inc. (ARGUS) is pleased to announce that ONEflight International has earned the ARGUS Certified Charter Broker Rating.
As the most recognized and trusted source of information on the charter business around the world, the ARGUS Charter Broker Program raises the bar to meet the high expectations and due diligence requirements of charter consumers and commercial aircraft operators. Although there are many charter brokers in the industry, only the finest can qualify as an ARGUS Certified Charter Broker. “We are thrilled to welcome ONEflight International as our newest Certified Charter Broker,” said Joe Moeggenberg, President and CEO of ARGUS International, Inc. “ONEflight has demonstrated exceptional commitment to the charter operators and clientele they work with on a daily basis through their steadfast adherence to industry best practices, and we are proud to welcome them to the elite group of ARGUS Certified Charter Brokers.”
“While economics and convenience are at the forefront of most that charter private jets, it is our responsibility to maintain their safety,” said Ferren Rajput, Founder and CEO of ONEflight International. “Delivering a peace of mind to our clients is a mandate for all our employees. It is why we go through extreme measures in protecting their safety while providing our clients with a great experience on every flight. I am very proud of our team at ONEflight having achieved the highest level of recognition in quality and aviation business ethics as an ARGUS Certified Charter Broker.”
Consistent with the ARGUS Gold and Platinum rating program for charter operators, the ARGUS Charter Broker Program is designed to provide end consumers and aircraft operators with unbiased, factual and relevant data necessary to make informed and confident decisions every time they participate in a charter flight facilitated through a charter broker. An ARGUS Certified Charter Broker must be able to prove compliance, through an on-site audit, against a demanding set of industry best practices, and demonstrate knowledge and compliance with any applicable regulations or standards that are imposed upon a charter broker. An ARGUS Certified Charter Broker rating uniquely identifies that Broker as one that emphasizes legal, secure and comfortable air travel for their clients on every flight.
ONEflight’s Certified Rating confirms that they have also met all the requirements of an ARGUS Registered Charter Broker. A Registered Charter Broker provides ARGUS with documented proof of specific requirements, and annually pledges their commitment to adhering to industry best practices and applicable regulations. A Certified Charter Broker will submit the same documentation and annual pledge, but also must undergo an on-site audit, once every two years, to prove their compliance with industry best practices and applicable regulations.
About ONEflight
In 2011, ONEflight launched a mission to change the private jet industry by reducing costs and redefining “Airline First Class” as a Private Jet Flight. While the industry continues to face great inefficiencies, costs continue to rise. From 5,000 daily private jet flights, more than 1,500 fly empty; a problem the industry leaders have failed to solve over the last 25 years. However, ONEflight’s technology-based solution, the JETClub, is the first step in solving this problem. With a global network of quality aircraft, and the only one of its kind worldwide, the JETClub is a country club in the private jet world. One can buy a lifetime membership to have worldwide access to over 12,000 jets with the highest level of quality in service and safety. Similar to aircraft ownership, but unlike typical charter flights, one only pays for direct operating costs of the aircraft, such as fuel. Additionally, ONEflight provides a low, unbiased, universal price point across the industry. For more information, please visit: http://oneflightinternational.com/
