Priester Aviation Renews Three Industry-Leading Safety Audits

Since its founding in 1945, Priester Aviation has earned a reputation as a safety-first aviation services provider. It recently completed renewals of three key safety audits: IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum and Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) certification. These, plus its Wyvern registration, put Priester among the elite 1% of private jet operators that hold all four of these universally respected ratings.

Priester first achieved International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) certification in 2010, reaching its highest level – Stage 3 – in 2014. Maintaining this certification verifies that safety management activities are fully integrated into operations and that a positive safety culture is being sustained.

It also renewed the ARGUS Platinum Rating, the highest level of the ARGUS Audit Standard. The rating is reserved for air charter operators that demonstrate best safety practices, which are verified through onsite safety audits.

Priester, a founding member of the ACSF, once again renewed the exhaustive ACSF Industry Audit. It verifies adherence to the organization’s operational, maintenance and safety management system standards and best practices.
