L.J. Aviation renews ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) registration

The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that L.J. Aviation of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, has renewed its status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) registry.

“We congratulate L.J. Aviation on renewing its status on the IAS registry,” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “It has once again demonstrated its commitment to continuous improvement.”

The IAS is the first and only extensive audit programme 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 programme against both FAA and international standards.

“As strong believers in the slogan 'culture trumps everything,' safety, execution and service are deliverables created by the L.J. culture,” said L.J. Aviation president Ed Kilkeary, Jr. “Being a member of ACSF creates a vehicle to look beyond metrics and uncover the glue that makes us one.”

Customers should look for the ACSF IAS registered logo and encourage their preferred charter provider to participate in the programme. The ACSF makes its operator registry and key company details available at no charge, so verification of IAS registration is quick and easy.
