SRC Aviation achieves first IS-BAH registration

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) issued today the first International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS- BAH) certificate of registration to SRC Aviation (P) Ltd. of New Delhi, India. Kurt Edwards, director general of IBAC, presented the certificate to Brig. M.K. Idnani, ceo of SRC Aviation, at the first BizAv India Conference in Bangalore, India.

“We are delighted that SRC Aviation has adopted the IS-BAH code of best practice. They have made a clear commitment to employing industry best practices and demonstrating to customers their leadership in safety management and risk mitigation,” said Edwards.

The IS-BAH is a global, voluntary code of best practices for the fixed-base operator (FBO) and business aviation handling agent (BAHA) community, created for the industry by the industry. It incorporates the safety management system (SMS) concept in all aspects of FBO/BAHA operations and is complementary with the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) used by their operator clients.

Certificates of registration are issued by IBAC to FBOs and BAHAs that have successfully demonstrated conformity to the standard through completion of an external audit by an IBAC accredited auditor.

“IBAC is particularly pleased to announce this first IS-BAH registration at the first BizAv India Conference hosted by the Business Aviation Operators Association of India. It could not be more fitting,” declared Edwards.

Launched in July 2014, the IS-BAH is a joint program between IBAC and the National Air Transportation Association (NATA). It incorporates the NATA Safety 1st ground audit program and follows the long established structure of the IS-BAO program.
