August 19, 2016:

The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Sun Air Jets, Camarillo, CA, Mayo Aviation, Denver, CO and Priester Aviation, Wheeling, IL, have all renewed their status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) registry. “By renewing their standing on the IAS registry, they have demonstrated their pledge to high standards,” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “We congratulate them on their continued commitment.”

“Sun Air Jets is proud to be a part of the Air Charter Safety Foundation team,” said Sun Air Jets' president and COO Brian Counsil. “The recent audit by ACSF validates Sun Air's safety culture and operational standards as meeting or exceeding the highest possible levels of safety.”

Mark Wulber, director of operations at Mayo Aviation said, “Our philosophy is go above and beyond regulatory minimums. The ACSF audit process helps ensure and verify the high standards to which we operate.”

“Priester Aviation recognizes the incredible importance of providing the highest level of aviation safety, and commends our team for a successful ACSF renewal,” said Andy Priester, president and CEO. “We have built our corporate culture around continuous improvement of our safety systems and utilize the ACSF audit as a benchmark that we strive to elevate each time our company is evaluated.”

The IAS is the first and only extensive audit program specifically created for on-demand operators by a committee of Part 135 and 91K industry leaders. It is conducted every 24 months and is in-depth in its evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operator's SMS program against both FAA and international standards.

Customers should look for the ACSF IAS registered logo and encourage their preferred charter provider to participate in the program.
