Access Oslo Executive Handling is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) certification and is the first in the Nordics to achieve this.

"Our customers expect nothing but the highest standards when they land at OSL and entrust us with their service needs. IS-BAH certification clearly demonstrates that we deliver on these expectations, and that quality is at the heart of everything we do." says Aleksander Aaland, general manager at Access Oslo.

Access Oslo has invested in this world-class business aviation code of practice to demonstrate to its customers and stakeholders that its ground handling services adhere to the highest possible standards. IS-BAH requires the development of programs, systems, processes and procedures to meet organizational, operational, training and security requirements based on international standards and industry best practices. An independent external audit validated the entire process undertaken by Access Oslo.

IS-BAH is a set of global industry best practices for business aviation ground handlers, which features at its core a safety management system (SMS). IS-BAH follows the structure of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Program and incorporates the NATA Safety 1st ground audit program. IS-BAH is the global industry standard for handlers and operators around the world to meet the upcoming SMS requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

In achieving this registration milestone, Access Oslo has become the first FBO in the Nordics to implement IS-BAH to manage the safety, efficiency, security and effectiveness of its operations for its customers.
