PrivateFly's commitment to safety ARGUS and Wyvern are the leading safety and best practice auditors for both operators and brokers in the business aviation industry. PrivateFly is an To achieve certified ARGUS status, PrivateFly had to undergo a thorough review of our data, documentation and practices - which was carried out by ARGUS. ARGUS provides a system of evaluating charter operators called CHEQ (Charter Evaluation and Qualification), which gives one of four rating tiers to operators: Does Not Qualify, Gold, Gold Plus and Platinum. Wyvern provides its PASS (Pilot & Aircraft Safety Survey) program, to give either a ‘Registered’ (entry-level) or ‘Wingman’ (advanced) standard to operators. PrivateFly can provide you with a PASS report which will verify that the operator, aircraft and crew chosen for your trip meet these rigorous safety requirements. The requirements for an AOC do vary from country to country, but generally includes an audit of areas such as company safety policy; management and organisational competence; crew training; aircraft maintenance; aircraft loading; flight planning; and fuel planning. It normally takes an operator or airline over 2 years to be issued with an AOC. It is a vigorous process and many new start-ups fail to be granted this licence to fly passengers. PrivateFly only works with approved operators who have a current AOC certification. At PrivateFly, we only provide charter on Part 135 aircraft in the USA, to ensure our passengers are receiving the safest and most reliable private jet service available. PrivateFly.com was the only travel company to win across all categories. Commenting on the win, chairman of the judges Andrew Areoff said: "The way the founders of PrivateFly have identified and exploited the niche market for private jet charter is admirable. This well-thought-through and executed proposition should establish itself as the market-leading brand in the sector as it continues to grow and develop, and as customer budget restrictions ease as we move out of recessionary times." PrivateFly beat hundreds of other companies to win a travel industry 'Dragon's Den' style contest in 2008. PrivateFly was selected as the winner by audience vote and Hugo Burge, one of the investor panel, commented: "There is definitely potential (in this venture). PrivateFly is bringing transparency to the market".
