Designation Based On SMS Development And Risk Assessment

ExecuJet's South African operation has achieved the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) certification as of September 2011. The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has congratulated ExecuJet for this significant accomplishment.

The foundation of IS-BAO is the development of a safety management system to assess the risks encountered in flight operations. It is modelled on the ISO 9000 family of standards. Validation of the entire process has to be completed by an independent audit. ExecuJet’s flight department and management invested considerable time and effort to develop and implement this world-class business aviation code of practice. In achieving this milestone, ExecuJet Africa has joined the list of proactive flight departments around the world that have implemented IS-BAO to manage the safety, security and efficiency of their operations.
 
“Being IS-BAO registered is the ultimate expression of the safety culture we have at ExecuJet” says Karen Piek, Quality Assurance Manager - ExecuJet Africa “everyone is aware of their individual role in achieving and ensuring a safe working environment for us and our clients. The IS-BAO registration has been a benchmark for us and we are very proud that we have managed to reach it”. In addition to IS-BAO, ExecuJet Africa is also accredited by Flight Safety Foundation BARS Approval (Basic Aviation Risk Standard) as well as several other leading companies throughout the world.

ExecuJet is also IS-BAO certified in Europe and in the Middle East.
