Macair, Inc. celebrates decade-long achievement as ARGUS Platinum rated operator

ARGUS International, Inc. (ARGUS) is pleased to announce that August 5, 2015 marks Macair Inc.'s 10th consecutive year as an ARGUS Platinum rated operator. The Platinum rating is the highest level of ARGUS ratings and is awarded only to those air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices relative to their operations and maintenance.

“We are proud to have held the ARGUS Platinum safety rating for a decade and counting,” said Dori F. Abouzeid, Macair, Inc. president and ceo. “We are committed to continually enhancing the safety of our passengers and crews and the ARGUS Platinum rating takes us one step closer to this goal. Our entire organization holds an unwavering commitment to safety, which gives us great pride and champions the core values of Macair, Inc. while fulfilling our purpose to make travel safer and better for the clients we fly.”

“I would like to congratulate Macair on their decade-long commitment to the highest industry standards,” said Joseph Moeggenberg, ARGUS International, Inc. president and ceo. “The Platinum standard is a challenging and thorough audit that truly separates the extraordinary operators from the rest. We are proud to celebrate Macair's exceptional accomplishment and wish them continued success in their operations.”

ARGUS PROS (Partners and Resources for Operational Safety), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARGUS International, is the only audit organization that has developed its own industry-leading audit standard for charter operators and also holds authorizations from two world-recognized standards organizations. The ARGUS Platinum audit requires a thorough onsite audit of the company's operations and maintenance programs along with a well-developed safety management system (SMS), emergency response plan, and well-documented maintenance and operational records. ARGUS Platinum rated operators are subject to the audit renewal process every two years.
