New Partnership Announced With JetCharters.com

ARGUS is pleased to announce its new partnership with JetCharters.com. Users of the JetCharters.com online marketplace can now view the ratings of ARGUS-rated charter operators when searching for available charter aircraft.

ARGUS offers the only truly independent rating of charter operators derived from factual data and information crucial to performing due diligence on a particular operator. The number of ARGUS rated operators has been rising steadily and currently consists of 310 Gold, 26 Gold Plus, and 88 Platinum rated charter operators.

“JetCharters.com is the worldwide air charter marketplace, connecting the retail charter client with aircraft and operators that meet their specific travel needs,” ARGUS president and CEO Joe Moeggenberg said. “They provide accurate, detailed information helping the customer locate the right operator and aircraft for their trip. The retail customer often does not come from the world of aviation and they can rely on the ARGUS Rating and information as their only source of third-party due diligence. We are very pleased to have our elite ARGUS-rated charter operators listed on JetCharters.com.”

“ARGUS-rated operators are among the top charter operators in the world, and we are pleased to have them integrated into our service,” JetCharters.com president and CEO Ernie Falco III said. “We are very excited about our new partnership with ARGUS, the leading provider of historical charter safety information worldwide, and to be able to include this valuable data on JetCharters.com.”

The ARGUS CHEQ (Charter Evaluation and Qualification) program was developed over a decade ago as the most accurate and detailed third-party due diligence system for charter operators, buyers and passengers around the world. With ARGUS CHEQ you can fly confidently knowing your operator’s safety history and confirm your operator’s commercial status.

While there is no guarantee for safety, ARGUS believes a safe operating history combined with an audit against industry best practices is a good starting point for any buyer of charter services. ARGUS-rated operators have proven their commitment to safety with well over 700,000 flight hours per year.
