ARGUS International is pleased to announce that Swift Aircraft Management, a Part 135 worldwide charter management company based in Phoenix, Arizona, has achieved the prestigious ARGUS Platinum rating. This accomplishment places Swift Aircraft Management in the upper five percent of over 1,000 U.S. based charter operators. As the highest level of the ARGUS ratings, the Platinum rating is awarded only to those air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices relative to their operations and maintenance.

To attain an ARGUS Platinum rating operators must satisfy the following requirements: pass the ARGUS Platinum onsite safety audit, demonstrate a well-developed safety management system and emergency response plan as well as exhibit detailed maintenance and operational records within a 24-month period.

“This latest achievement is the result of our commitment and persistent focus on the highest safety standards,” said Tony Jobusch, director of safety. “Our leadership and employees continually promote an environment where every team member contributes to the success and improvement of our safety management system. This environment was vital to achieving an ARGUS Platinum rating.”

“Earning the Platinum rating illustrates Swift Aircraft Management has gone beyond compliance, making safety an integral part of its culture,” said Joseph Moeggenberg, president and CEO of ARGUS International. “We welcome Swift Aircraft Management to the elite group of operators who have achieved the ARGUS Platinum rating.”
