Safety checks for your charter
Charter matches must be performed by an appropriately authorised commercial operator. Before booking, identify the operating company and confirm its current authorisation, insurance and any claimed independent safety documentation for the proposed flight and aircraft.
Independent ratings to verify
Independent ratings to verify
ARGUS, Wyvern and IS-BAO are distinct voluntary programmes. If a rating is claimed, verify its current status and scope for the actual carrier; it does not replace the authorisation required to operate the flight.

Operator authorisation
ARGUS is an independent charter-safety programme. If an operator cites ARGUS status, verify the current rating, legal operating carrier and scope for the proposed flight.

IS-BAO status to verify
IS-BAO is a voluntary business-aircraft operations standard. Treat it as documentation to verify for the actual operating company, not as a substitute for its commercial authorisation, insurance or dispatch responsibility.

Insurance checked
Wyvern provides third-party operator screening and standards. If Wyvern documentation is cited, confirm the current status, covered entity and relevance to the aircraft and route in your quote.

Checks for the proposed flight
Checks for the proposed flight
Air Operator Document
Identify the legal operating carrier and confirm the AOC or equivalent commercial authorisation required for the proposed operation, including its scope and validity with the issuing authority.
Third-party safety audit
If an ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO status is claimed, verify the programme, current status and applicable operator. A directory listing does not establish that every company holds a rating.
Insurance verification
Request the relevant insurance document and confirm coverage for the proposed aircraft, route and operation, including applicable limits.
Crew standards
The operating carrier is responsible for crew licences, qualifications, training, duty limits and the operational assessment of the flight.
Ongoing monitoring
Reconfirm the actual carrier, aircraft and any operational changes before departure. A previous quotation or programme logo does not establish current availability.
Resolve any missing authorisation or insurance before accepting a flight. An unresolved optional rating must not be represented as verified.
Our Commitment
Comprehensive Safety Measures
Experienced Crew
The operating carrier must meet the licensing, training and duty-time requirements applicable to the crew assigned to your flight.
Rigorous Maintenance
The operating carrier is responsible for airworthiness and maintenance under the rules applicable to its aircraft and operation. Ask it to confirm the aircraft and maintenance status for the proposed flight.
Real-Time Weather Intelligence
The operating carrier makes the dispatch decision using current weather, operational notices, aircraft limitations and applicable minima. Confirm how schedule changes will be communicated.
Safety Management Systems
Ask the operating company about the safety-management requirements applicable to its operation, its reporting process and how it assesses risks for your flight. A programme name alone does not establish the status of every company in the directory.
