"As a proud member of the aviation industry, safety has always been the top priority for Charter First. In an effort to validate that priority and demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement, we embarked on achieving both international registration of our Safety Management System as well as a respected rating from a well recognized independent audit firm.  As a result of our research, we selected ARGUS, and through a rigorous, multiple day audit process, we achieved a successful outcome of both IS-BAO registration and an ARGUS Platinum rating.  ARGUS was uniquely able to meet all the auditing requirements needed to achieve both goals, increasing our productivity and ultimately saving us significant time and money.   The staff at ARGUS proved to be professional, knowledgeable and able to provide valuable feedback and insight.  Our audit process with ARGUS helped strengthen our operation, while giving our staff confirmation that their hard work and dedication to safety was recognized and rewarded.  Charter First has set itself apart from our competitors, and I am confident that the marketplace will respond positively to our hard-earned ARGUS Platinum status and ISBAO registration."
