SANTA ANA, Calif. (PRWEB) May 27, 2021 - STA Jets, one of Southern Californias premier private jet charter and aircraft management companies, is pleased to announce the renewal of their Platinum ARGUS Certification, one of the industrys most widely recognized and globally regarded safety standards.

Far from a matter of course, STAs commitment to maintaining an ARGUS Platinum rating, along with its other safety certifications, including IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) Stage 2 certification and its Wyvern Wingman certification, position it as a truly top-tier operator within the global private air transport. It has held its Platinum designation since 2005.

In order to maintain Platinum certification, regular audits have to prove that the operator has a well-maintained safety infrastructure, including processes that span the hiring of pilots, aircraft maintenance, and ongoing safety analysis. STA Founder and CEO Kurt Belcher spoke to the rigor that is required of operators in achieving the certification: Its not just an audit from time to time. Being a Platinum-Certified operator is something that is lived out in every single flight, Belcher added.

A selection of criteria that must be met for Platinum Certification include:

We see our continued commitment to safety as the lifeblood of our operations, Belcher explained. Its the foundation upon which any other growth and accomplishments must be built. These rigorous standards flow directly into all other parts of what we do, and is step one in providing our clients a luxury flight experience that exceeds all their expectations.
