Universal Aviation Singapore, based
at Seletar Airport (WSSL) has earned accreditation under the International
Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) program.
Universal Aviation Singapore joins
Universal Aviation London Stansted (EGSS) as the second Universal Aviation
location to become an IS-BAH accredited location. Universal Aviation, the ground
support division of Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc., has more than 40
locations in 20 countries.
“Earning our IS-BAH
accreditation is validation of our ongoing commitment to safety and ensuring our
client’s mission success by reducing their operating risk and stress,” said
Yvonne Chan,
Managing Director, Universal Aviation Singapore. “We are proud to earn this
level of distinction, as it demonstrates to our customers and stakeholders our
unwavering dedication to implementing industry-recognized best practices for
safety, systems, training, and security.”
The International Standard for
Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) is a set of global industry best practices
for business aviation ground handlers, which features at its core a safety
management system (SMS). The IS-BAH follows the structure of the International
Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Program and incorporates the
NATA Safety 1st Ground Audit Program. IS-BAH is the global industry standard for
handlers and operators around the world to meet the coming SMS requirements from
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“Universal Aviation
Singapore is the second of our locations to earn IS-BAH and our second in the
last six months, joining Universal Aviation Stansted, which earned its
accreditation in August 2017,” said
Charlie Mularski, Senior Vice
President, International, Universal. “Throughout 2018 and early 2019, we
anticipate five more Universal Aviation locations to be audited for IS-BAH
accreditation. Our clients’ missions are stressful. We’re ensuring they can be
at ease, knowing we are meeting and exceeding business aviation’s best safety
and security procedures when operating to our Universal Aviation locations.” |
