With the much of the aviation industry (scheduled service, on-demand charter, Part 139 Airports and many training and maintenance providers) now required to implement and operate under an approved or accepted Safety Management System, it only makes sense that Fixed Base Operators design and implement an SMS. Ground Operations carry an additional physical and environmental risk in addition to the safety, organizational and financial risk incurred by Flight Operations.
In the past, Fixed Base Operators have attempted to design and implement safety protocols independently using a variety of resources. However, in most cases the protocols have been fragmented, non integrated, unstructured and ineffective. ARGUS International, using its years of Industry and Regulatory recognized SMS expertise has developed an integrated Base Operations Audit Program designed to provide the highest level of organizational, financial and physical safety designed to meet the current industry needs as well as any future regulatory SMS requirements.
Not only will the ARGUS Base Ops certification program identify a quality safety program within the FBO, but it also will evaluate the FBOs attention to service. Leveraging their relationship with over 500 charter operators and hundreds of corporate flight departments, ARGUS surveys the FBOs service, providing that operation verified metrics to assist in their quality assurance.
Safety and Service, hallmarks of industry leading FBOs, verified by the ARGUS BaseOps Certification Program. We invite you to contact us to learn more about this outstanding opportunity and the multiple benefits it provides.
