Presidential Aviation receives ARGUS Platinum rating for operational safety and excellence

Presidential Aviation, a leading aircraft charter and management company based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), recently received an ARGUS Platinum rating, which is the highest rating an operator can receive from the international organisation. The rating is a depiction of the company's on-going commitment to operational safety.

The ARGUS Platinum rating is the highest designation awarded to operators that have demonstrated historical safety, developed functional safety management systems (SMS) and emergency response plans (ERP), and have passed an ARGUS on-site safety audit. The rating also requires that ARGUS perform annual pilot and flight crew background checks. ARGUS International is considered by some as one of the most accurate and unbiased third-party organisations for rating charter operators worldwide. The company's ratings are developed using a complex safety algorithm.

Presidential Aviation's director of safety and training, Jason Wilde said, “We have worked diligently to become one of the safest international charter operators from which to choose. We are extremely honoured to have received this high-level rating."

“It is our mission to become the safest and most reliable operator in the industry,” said Presidential Aviation's chief executive officer, Oscar Arce. “We will continue to improve our practices, procedures, and operations to exceed standards,” he stated.
