TAG Aviation’s FBOs
in Geneva and Sion have been awarded the
International Standard for Business Aircraft
Handling (IS-BAH) Stage 1 certificate of
registration from the International Business
Aviation Council (IBAC) for their rigorous safety
and quality ground handling operations.
The IS-BAH standard,
which focuses on the refueling, ground handling and
storing of general aviation aircraft, is a set of
global industry’s best practices in safety
management and risk mitigation for business aviation
ground handlers.
The accreditation
process involves a complete audit of the FBO’s
safety management systems, emergency and security
procedures, organisational structure, training
protocols and operating procedures. Certificates of
registration are issued by IBAC to FBOs that have
successfully demonstrated conformity to the
industry’s best practice standards through
completion of a three stage-external audit by the
IBAC accredited auditor.
"Congratulations
to TAG Aviation on their achievement of successfully
implementing, through to registration, the IS-BAH at
both their Geneva and Sion locations. IBAC thanks
the management and the teams involved within TAG
Aviation's FBO network for their continued
commitment to adopting the industry Standards with
positive support,” said
Terry Yeomans,
IS-BAH Program Director for the IBAC.
Ilias
Ziragachi,
TAG Aviation’s Handling Manager for Sion
said, “The IS-BAH registration process
represents months of hard work for the
management teams of both stations.
Receipt of the IS-BAH certification is a
significant milestone and it is very
important we continue to formalise our
continuous improvement and build upon
the safety culture.”
“We are
very proud to have been awarded such
coveted industry recognition”, said
Erturk Yildiz,
TAG Aviation’s Handling Manager for
Geneva. “By adopting the IS-BAH best
code of practices, TAG Aviation’s Geneva
and Sion FBO’s and ground handling teams
have demonstrated their commitment to
providing safety excellence and set up a
strong and solid Safety Management
System that adds important value for our
clients.” |
