April 24, 2017 – Latitude 33 Aviation, managing the newest and largest fleet of light jets in the U.S., is proud to announce it has been awarded the prestigious ARGUS Platinum Rating, the highest safety certification issued by the Aviation Research Group International, Inc. (ARGUS).

This designation is awarded only to world-class aviation operators with an exceptional Safety Management System (SMS), full-motion simulator training for all pilots, a clear and workable Emergency Response Plan, effective policies and procedures, and documented records for all major aspects of operations and maintenance. While several ratings and designations from various third-party organizations are used to determine the safety levels of private jet charter operators and brokers, the ARGUS Platinum rating is one of the few that requires a multi-day onsite audit of the business.

As per a 2012 industry statistics compiled by ARGUS, out of 1,000 U.S.-based charter operators only 52, or five percent, have reached a Platinum rating. ARGUS is a specialized aviation services company with global expertise whose mission is to provide the aviation marketplace with the information needed to make informed decisions and manage risk.

This unwavering commitment to superior service has made Latitude 33 Aviation a preferred operator for private jet charter clients, aircraft owners, and business jet manufacturers.
