ARGUS has awarded nine US-based charter operators the Platinum rating during the third quarter of 2009 and is recognising operators who not only carry an ARGUS rating but also received their IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operators) Registration in the third quarter of 2009.

The Platinum rating is ARGUS' highest level of safety ratings, and is awarded air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices relative to their operations and maintenance.

Earlier this year, ARGUS announced the inclusion of the IS-BAO audit within the overall ARGUS audit standard. Along with several additional requirements for charter operators, it is now possible for a charter company to receive both an ARGUS Rating, as well as IS-BAO registration, resulting from a successful IS-BAO audit performed by qualified and recognized IS-BAO auditors.

"We are very pleased to see so many operators stay committed to maintaining their strict and proven operational standards for minimizing risk," stated Joe Moeggenberg, ARGUS President and CEO.
