Carlisle Air Joins the ACSF, Enrolls in ASAP

The Carlisle Air Corporation is the newest aviation company to join the Air Charter Safety Foundation’s (ACSF) expanding membership. The Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based firm, which offers aircraft charter, acquisitions, sales and management, will also participate in the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), created in cooperation between the ACSF and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Along with more than 200 other member companies, Carlisle Air supports the ACSF’s vision to advance and enable the highest levels of safety in personal and business aviation through the promotion and facilitation of risk management programs.

Carlisle’s Vice President of Operations, Brendan Tozer, said of his company’s recent membership, “We strive to be one of the safest charter operators in the industry, and we see our membership in ACSF as a means to help us accomplish that goal.” 

Tozer also remarked that, “We see the ASAP program as a value-add for our membership in ACSF, so we’re looking forward to our active involvement in it.”

ACSF President Bryan Burns said that he’s gratified by Carlisle’s decision to join the ACSF. “Clearly, Carlisle Air’s rationale for becoming an ACSF member points to its commitment to promoting and practicing safety above and beyond what is considered regulatory.”

Burns added that the ACSF is particularly pleased that Carlisle Air will also be participating in the ASAP. “This program goes several steps further to identify and reduce possible flight safety concerns, as well as mitigate risk,” he said.
