Chartright Awarded IS-BAO Stage III Certification

Chartright is proud to announce that it has been awarded with IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Stage III certificate. Stage III certification is the highest category possible and is achieved only when safety management has become fully engrained in the company’s culture and a positive safety culture has been sustained over time.

IBAC (International Business Aviation Council) is an organization consisting of business aviation associations from around the world. The purpose of IBAC is to promote the highest standards of business aircraft and helicopter flight operations by way of implementing best practices identified in various carriers from around the world. An operator’s success in performing to those standards is recognized by achieving IS-BAO certification.

Of the more than one thousand air certificate holders in Canada, Chartright is one of only four to have achieved the Stage III designation and is amongst the distinguished group of only 20% of operators worldwide to have done so.

Robert Squires, Vice President of Operations, Chartright said: “We are proud to see that our hard work and commitment to developing a culture focused around safety and quality has been recognized by IBAC with this highest ranking certification. We are excited to be one of only a select few to have been awarded the IS-BAO Stage III certification in Canada.”
