London Oxford Airport’s FBO Achieves IS-BAH Stage II Safety Endorsement

London Oxford Airport has been awarded Stage II of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH). This industry leading accreditation is the global standard for best business aviation safety practice. Oxford Aviation Services Limited, OASL with its OxfordJet branded FBO, is one of only a handful of FBO’s in the World to have received the Stage II endorsement and only the second in the UK, after TAG Farnborough. 

The FBO passed the safety management audit in November following an external assessment by an IBAC-accredited (International Business Aviation Council) auditor. The Stage II achievement represents a higher standard of safety management system compliance and control than Stage I as well as a broader awareness of the safety systems amongst all of London Oxford Airport employees. 

IS-BAH is supported by industry associations EBAA and the UK’s BBGA and is a voluntary global code of best practices for ground handlers working in business aviation. IS-BAH incorporates the NATA Safety 1^st Ground Audit Program and follows the structure of the IS-BAO programme. It is part of a joint initiative run by IBACand US NATA (National Air Transportation Association).
