Scottsdale Jet Charter

Safety Philosophy and Practice

With management’s career aviation expertise and experience, air charter safety is treated a bit differently than most charter brokers, and many operators. 

From the senior team’s experience and first-hand active role in flight safety, Scottsdale Jet Charter employs a comprehensive, macro view in evaluating air charter safety, and aircraft & operator options for each trip. 

Similar to an aircraft-operator’s Safety Management System (SMS), which normally has a comprehensive view; four separate components with multiple sub-components for each one, you cannot rely solely on or blindly trust one source, program or method.

You must understand the overall environment, all sources of information, and the intangible operator safety cultures, included but not limited to FAA oversight & reports on operators, the independent auditors themselves ARGUS, WYVERN, ACSF (Air Charter Safety Foundation) and IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations).   Plus your own personal experiences with an aircraft operator and their personnel over many years, which is often a key factor in your charter flight safety and experience.

Scottsdale Jet Charter is audited and rated by both the industry safety audit leaders- ARGUS and WYVERN, as a registered and authorized broker.  And as such accesses operator, aircraft and pilot details, reports and history from both…the ability to confirm an ARGUS Gold/Platinum, and/or WYVERN Compliant flight.

It is the confluence of all these that provide the best overall information for decision making. 

Charter clients rest assured knowing their professional long term broker has a history with a particular operator and/or aircraft and therefor is a ‘known entity’, and in this case has 20 years of chartering thousands of aircraft and hundreds of operators.  Instead of some jet card and membership flights, or newer brokers, using an aircraft or operator for the first time.

A proud member of the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), when Scottsdale Jet Charter/New Flight Charters developed a Risk Management guide for charter flyers, Five Questions For Your Air Charter Service, the ACSF requested rights to publish under their name for members, and online for the flying public.
