ARGUS International Honors Stratos Jet Charters, Inc. as a continued Certified Charter Broker

Bloomfield, NJ (November 19, 2025)

The ARGUS Certified Charter Broker program is designed to identify and promote leaders in the Charter Broker industry. To become ARGUS certified, brokers undergo a thorough audit to evaluate their organizational structure, management and financial controls, operator vetting processes, emergency response plans, and trip feasibility assessments to ensure their client’s needs are met. Any findings that might be raised during the audit must be corrected before earning the ARGUS Certified Charter Broker rating. Charter clients who use ARGUS Certified Charter Brokers can be assured that they are working with brokers who uphold the highest industry standards for quality, safety, and service.

"ARGUS congratulates Stratos Jet for maintaining their Certified Broker rating. They consistently demonstrated sound business practices, attention to detail, and a dedication to safety and operational quality on behalf of their clients. The ARGUS Certified Broker rating ensures that a broker not only conforms to DOT 295, but that they are committed to adopting best practices that set them apart" said by Patrick Chiles, ARGUS International Vice President Business Aviation Audit Programs.

"I’m incredibly proud of our team for maintaining Stratos’ ARGUS Certified Broker status for over 11 consecutive years. This distinction reflects the daily discipline, integrity, and attention to detail that define how we operate — one high-quality decision at a time.” - Joel Thomas, Stratos Jets President & CEO.

Stratos Jets CFO, David Borgerding stated "We valued the opportunity to work with the ARGUS audit team and to highlight the continuous improvements Stratos has implemented over the past 11 years. Our team’s dedication to operational excellence underscores our long-standing commitment to safety and an exceptional client experience.”
