Accreditation is important as it instils confidence in clients that the operator/broker/service provider is reliable and operating legally. Any breach of these standards would result in revocation of the accreditation.
Global trade body The Air Charter Association (The ACA) has launched its new member Seal of Accreditation. The purpose of the Seal is to highlight that members of The ACA are accredited as professional and trustworthy, having successfully passed due diligence checks and referencing from industry partners. The Seal demonstrates a commitment to uphold the highest industry standards, as set out in The ACA's code of conduct.
Accreditation is important as it instils confidence in clients that the operator/broker/service provider is reliable and operating legally. Any breach of these standards would result in revocation of the accreditation and suspension of a company's membership of the association.
Providing greater transparency for clients is a vital tool for combatting illegal charter flights. The new Seal of Accreditation is a visual endorsement of compliant companies, delivering a helpful indicator to clients when deciding which company to do business with.
Glenn Hogben, chief executive, The ACA, says: “We are proud to launch The ACA's Seal of Accreditation, which has been designed to invoke a sense of security and safety for clients. Instantly recognisable, the Seal represents excellence and professionalism in all areas, helping potential clients identify accredited member companies and book charter flights securely. As strong advocates for educating the public on the dangers of illegal charter, we believe it is important to provide clear information to support passengers to fly safely every day.”
The Air Charter Association encourages all its members to proudly display the Seal of Accreditation on their websites, marketing materials, quotes and contracts, to highlight the importance of the standards it represents.
