Peace of Mind, with Proof: Our Triple-Certified Safety Guarantee
Any operator can promise safety, but Jet Linx proves the point every day, with every seamless flight.
Our approach to safety is not a mantra or a marketing ploy. We work with third-party safety ratings agencies to confirm that we are – without a doubt – among the safest private aviation operators in the world.
Simply put, our set of safety ratings include ARGUS Platinum Elite, IS-BAO Stage 3, and WYVERN Wingman PRO – all respectively recognized as the highest possible third-party safety ratings in the private aviation industry. Less than 1% of all operators worldwide maintain all three of these ratings.
So, what does it mean for you?
“Each audit—from ARGUS to IS-BAO to Wyvern—offers a different lens on how SMS should operate. That diversity in evaluation helps us stay sharp, adapt to new best practices, and become more risk-averse as an operation. It keeps us grounded and always improving,” explained RD Johnson, VP of Safety at Jet Linx.
Let’s look a little deeper at what each safety rating really means.
ARGUS Platinum Elite: A Background Check on the Entire Organization
What is it?
ARGUS (Aviation Research Group/US) is the gold standard in private aviation safety audits. Jet Linx was the first operator to ever earn this rating.
To earn and maintain our ARGUS Platinum Elite status, we must:
- Pass the most rigorous safety audit in the industry.
- Maintain a spotless safety record with zero compromise.
- Meet strict requirements for pilot qualifications and flight operations.
- Demonstrate a proven, well-managed Safety Management System.
What does it mean for Jet Linx clients?
When severe weather unexpectedly developed during a client’s Caribbean vacation last year, our operations team had already prepared and communicated three alternative return options before the client even became aware of the situation. Every flight is scrutinized through multiple lenses.
IS-BAO Stage 3: Certifying a Culture of Safety
What is it?
The International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) is a globally recognized safety standard. Stage 3 is the highest level of IS-BAO certification, and it means that safety isn’t something that Jet Linx practices, it’s fully embedded into who we are as a company.
To earn and maintain the IS-BAO Stage 3 rating, Jet Linx must:
- Prove we don’t just follow safety rules, but we work daily to improve them.
- Show that everyone in the organization, from executives to aircrews, is fully empowered to prioritize safety.
- Go beyond safety compliance with a system for continuous improvement and accountability.
What does it mean for Jet Linx clients?
In our quarterly safety stand-downs at Base locations, every team member, from maintenance technicians to customer service, participates in scenario-based training. During one recent training session, a Client Relations team member spotted a potential issue that others had missed, demonstrating how deeply safety awareness runs throughout our organization.
WYVERN Wingman PRO: Setting the Industry Benchmark
What is it?
WYVERN is another widely respected safety ratings agency. Our WYVERN Wingman PRO designation recognizes that we maintain a transparent, strong, and generative environment where safety leads the way.
To earn and maintain WYVERN Wingman PRO status, Jet Linx must:
- Pass regular independent audits of aircraft, crew, and procedures.
- Submit detailed records that prove adherence to safety best practices.
- Demonstrate advanced safety reporting is accessible to leadership.
What does it mean for Jet Linx clients?
During last year’s WYVERN audit, an analysis on crew rest protocols revealed an opportunity to improve our pilot fatigue management. Jet Linx implemented these changes that went far beyond minimum requirements. The result? Our pilots were more rested and more capable of providing safe and efficient flights for clients.
Why Triple Certification Matters
While many private aviation companies strive to achieve and maintain just one of these certifications, Jet Linx holds all three. These ratings aren’t part of a marketing campaign, they’re earned through hard work, dedicated record-keeping, and complete transparency.
They are peace of mind, backed by proof.
“We are constantly reviewing, auditing, improving, and communicating across teams. We make sure our data is solid, and our processes are working like they should,” shared Brittany Blessie, Jet Linx Safety Analyst. “The ratings aren’t something we earn once and forget about. We have to keep showing up and proving it every day.”
