What Does Aviation Safety Feel Like?

Imagine dining at a Michelin three-star restaurant, where every detail, from the ingredients to the preparation, meets the highest standards of excellence. As you dine, you forget your worries and the outside world melts away. Before you know it, you’ve finished the meal and afterwards you return to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

At Jet Linx, our approach to safety mirrors this philosophy. Our flights are anything but eventful – time passes quickly – and before you know it you’re landing and your ground transportation is ready and waiting. You won’t ever see or feel the layers of safety embedded into your flight because the system we’ve built is designed to keep you safe before you even think to ask.

Let us take you behind the scenes to show how we’ve achieved—and continue to maintain—this unparalleled level of safety excellence.

Three Elite Safety Certifications and One Guarantee

Certifications like ARGUS Platinum Elite, Wyvern Wingman PRO, and IS-BAO Stage 3 are part of our story, but they’re only part of our deep dedication to do the right thing when no one is looking.

  • ARGUS Platinum Elite – This is the highest safety rating issued by the Aviation Research Group U.S. (ARGUS), awarded only to operators with a well-established Safety Management System (SMS) and a rigorous Emergency Response Plan. We were the very first operator to be granted Platinum Elite status.
  • IS-BAO Stage 3 – Recognized as the gold standard in business aviation safety, the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Stage 3 certification is achieved only when safety is fully embedded into an operator’s culture. Jet Linx has held this certification since 2015.
  • WYVERN Wingman PRO – This certification requires ongoing audits and some of the strictest pilot-hour minimums in the industry. Of more than 2,300 operators in the US, only 16 have achieved WYVERN Wingman PRO status.

Beyond the acronyms and the jargon, our elite safety certifications mean that you can trust our teams to deliver security and peace of mind on every flight. When you fly with us, you receive the highest standard of safety in private aviation, guaranteed.

Many private aviation companies strive to achieve these certifications, but it requires a significant investment that few have the financial capacity nor the desire to expend. Some companies may hold one or two, but attaining all three is an accomplishment that places us in the top 1% of Part 135 operators globally.

Our Safety Process: A Promise to You

Safety at Jet Linx means that before every flight, our Flight Coordination teams review detailed flight plans, checklists, and maintenance logs, leaving no detail overlooked. Our pilots meticulously review weather patterns and route options to guarantee the safest journey possible. Every team member is trained to double-check plans and procedures, always asking ‘what if?’ to prepare for the unexpected.

Our Jet Card Members and Aircraft Owners never see our team working round the clock to perform real-time flight tracking or pilot fatigue monitoring – but they do feel the confidence of flying with a pilot that knows them by name and always has treats ready for the family dog. Speaking of personal service, our pilots are assigned to specific aircraft, so they know every switch, every sound, and every nuance.  When our pilots fly an aircraft, it’s like driving their own vehicle.

We also listen to our clients’ feedback about how we can make each trip better than the next – and we perform the same exercise with our pilots in a voluntary reporting program where our crewmembers are encouraged to speak up to builder a stronger and safer operation. This kind of transparency creates a culture where people care deeply about getting better and better.

While some might talk about safety in abstract terms, we take it literally. We voluntarily ground our fleet every year for a full-day Safety Summit—something no one else in the industry is doing—because we believe that trust is built through action. When every single team member in our 500+ organization pauses to refocus on what matters most, we bring every passenger home safely.

Flying with Jet Linx means you’re flying with a company that has passed every audit, with a team that anticipates your needs, and takes nothing for granted. Safety is a promise we make every single day – to you, your family, and every passenger we’re honored to carry.
