ARGUS International Honors Hamilton Jetport as Platinum Rated

Bloomfield, NJ (May 1, 2026) – ARGUS International, a member of the SGS group, honors Hamilton Jetport as an ARGUS Platinum Operator, which places them in the upper five percent of over 1,000 U.S. and Canada based charter operators. The Platinum Rating is a higher level in the ARGUS audit standard and is awarded only to those air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices regarding their operations and maintenance.

Achieving ARGUS Platinum Rating is a testament to the aviation community that safety is Jetport’s top priority. The ARGUS Platinum Rating consists of an audit that takes an in-depth look into the quality of documented processes in addition to the strength of the safety management system implemented by the operator. Receiving a Platinum Rating means the operation was examined over several days by a team of on-site auditors and subsequently completed any corrective actions necessary to meet the standard.

"ARGUS congratulates Hamilton Jetport for achieving the Platinum rating after a rigorous audit. Their team demonstrated the commitment to safety and operational quality that sets Platinum rated operators above the rest. ARGUS is pleased to count Hamilton Jetport among the top tier of charter operations” said by Patrick Chiles, ARGUS International Vice President Business Aviation.
