Jet Linx Receives ARGUS Platinum Rating Renewal

OMAHA, NE: Jet Linx Aviation, LLC successfully completed a three day on-site audit by Aviation Research Group (ARGUS) resulting in a renewal of its Platinum rating, the highest rating given to FAA Part 135 operators. Jet Linx is proud to promote the vision “Safety is a Way of Life,” and this latest audit again validates our commitment to safety.

The ARGUS Platinum rating is awarded to operators that, after completion of an intense operation, maintenance and safety systems audit by recognized industry experts, demonstrate their procedures meet or exceed industry “best practices.” ARGUS maintains records on over 1,000 charter operators. There are 400+ air carriers actually rated by ARGUS, including more than 5,000 aircraft and 21,000 professional pilots validated in their CHEQ system. Currently, only 111 providers operate under the ARGUS Platinum rating.

“Our continued growth and success is based in part by our employees participating in our safety system with total support and encouragement from management,” says Kari Johnson, Director of Safety for Jet Linx Aviation.

Jet Linx boasts a well-established Safety Management System (SMS) based on the ARGUS PRISM safety program. The system is managed by a full-time Director of Safety, as well as Safety Managers at each Jet Linx facility. The Jet Linx safety team, overseen by the company’s safety board of directors, meets monthly to discuss the promotion of safety, explore potential risks and develop ways to mitigate any concerns. In addition, Jet Linx is one of a few operators to employ an internal safety auditor. The Jet Linx Director of Compliance audits and inspects all departments and reports safety and operational concerns directly to the company president.

“We at Jet Linx are committed to provide the safest possible transportation to our members and customers,” says Bruce Tuttle, Director of Compliance. “Jet Linx management is committed to the Safety Management System that monitors all phases of operations at Jet Linx. Internal safety audits are completed annually which ensures all facilities are compliant with all Jet Linx policies and procedures. Safety IS our way of life.”
