ABS Jets was awarded the IS-BAO III certificate, confirming its position among the global leaders

ABS Jets, the leading European business jet operator, has received the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Stage III certification. The company is the first in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic to obtain the prestigious international certificate.

Issued by IBAC (International Business Aviation Council), the IS-BAO III certificate confirms ABS Jets’ consistently excellent approach to managing safety and risks in business aviation.

The highest stage IS-BAO certification is the result of a long journey during which ABS Jets had to demonstrate that managing safety risks is an integral part of all of its corporate processes. The stringent audit also tested the proficiency of the flight personnel, flight operations and the attitude to environmental protection.

The requirements for the obtaining and retaining of the IS-BAO certificate are increasingly demanding every year, reflecting the dynamic development of the airline industry.  Overall, companies are examined for adherence to almost 400 international standards.

“The IS-BAO III certificate is a sort of gold standard in our field. We are happy to have joined the world’s best and to be the first in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to confirm that our services and emphasis on safety are on the highest international level,” said Jan Králík, Accountable Manager of ABS Jets.

ABS Jets, established in 2004, is a leading business jet operator with bases in Prague (Czech Republic) and Bratislava (Slovak Republic) with over 200 employees. Its facilities include more than 6000 square metres of hangar space.
