Keystone Aviation, Executive Fliteways and Advanced Air renew ACSF Industry Audit Standard registration

December 13, 2016:

The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Keystone Aviation, Salt Lake City, UT, Executive Fliteways, Ronkonkoma, NY, and Advanced Air, Hawthorne, CA, 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.”

“Keystone Aviation is proud to be a part of the Air Charter Safety Foundation team,” said Matt Dana, vice-president of flight operations. “The recent audit by ACSF helped improve our practices and safety culture as we continue to pursue the safest operation possible.”

“Advanced Air is proud to be a part of the Air Charter Safety Foundation registry,” said Advance Air president Levi Stockton. “The experience of having undergone the ACSF audit process left us with a much stronger, cohesive, and safe operation.”

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.
