Skyward Aviation joins Air Charter Safety Foundation's Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)

Skyward Aviation, a Part 135 Learjet fleet operator headquartered in Washington, Pennsylvania, is the latest participant in the Air Charter Safety Foundation's (ACSF) Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). This significant step underscores Skyward Aviation's unwavering commitment to safety, placing it at the forefront of the aviation industry's best practices.

The Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) offered by ACSF is a valuable tool for flight operators like Skyward Aviation. It helps identify and reduce potential flight safety concerns and mitigate risks through an easy, open and self-reporting initiative. The programme provides third-party facilitation, tracking and corrective action recommendations, allowing operators to enhance their overall safety culture.

Skyward Aviation has always made safety its highest priority. The company adheres to rigorous safety standards and regulations, ensuring that its aircraft are maintained to the highest levels of performance. Skyward Aviation's skilled pilots and dedicated crew undergo extensive training and regular evaluations to guarantee a secure and worry-free journey for all passengers.

“Joining the ACSF's ASAP is a natural extension of our core values at Skyward Aviation,” said Gene Pecar, CEO of Skyward Aviation. “We believe that safety is a continuous journey, not a destination. By participating in ASAP, we are taking proactive steps to further enhance our safety culture and ensure that we are always at the cutting edge of safety practices.”

"Skyward Aviation's decision to join ASAP highlights its strong dedication to safety and continuous improvement,” said Bryan Burns, president and CEO of the Air Charter Safety Foundation. “We are excited to have Skyward Aviation on board and look forward to supporting it as it further enhances its safety culture through this vital programme."

As an ASAP member, Skyward Aviation will benefit from a voluntary, cooperative and non-punitive approach to reporting safety-of-flight concerns. The programme offers valuable safety information and insights, potentially eliminates deviations from FAA regulations and provides mentoring, coaching and management by the ACSF at a low cost, with significant discounts for ACSF members.

Skyward Aviation's participation in ASAP reflects its dedication to continuous improvement and its commitment to providing the safest possible experience for its customers.
