Do you screen the charter companies with which
you do business?
Yes. Our extensive screening process includes
periodic visits to the airline's operations base and
a thorough evaluation of their FAA certifications, insurance
records, training programs and pilot qualifications.
Additionally, our staff conduct flight checks on their
aircraft to evaluate their operations and in-flight services.
Our flight check pilot has over 20 years' experience
in charter airline operations and over 5,000 flight hours
as an FAA-licensed Airline Transport Pilot and transport
jet flight instructor.
What safety standards does Celebrity Jet Charter
have in place?
Celebrity Jet Charter’s current safety standards
exceed the FAA Part 135 regulations that govern aircraft
in a host of categories, including total pilot time in
a particular aircraft type, flight hours as the pilot
in charge, and flight hours as the pilot in charge of
a specific aircraft type. In general, Part 135 closely
resembles the FAA regulations that govern commercial
airlines. To ensure the safety of each and every flight,
Celebrity Jet Charter subscribes to the services of the
Aviation Research Group/U.S. ARG/US is a leading independent
provider of data, research and analysis services to the
business aviation marketplace. ARG/US uses a carrier
rating system categorizes air charter carriers and their
private jets into one of four levels: DNQ, Silver, Gold,
and Platinum. The ARG/US Gold rating is the minimum standard
for a Celebrity jet. For more information on the ARG/US
service and other safety measures employed by Charter,
please visit our Safety section. [ADD LINK]
What is TripCHEQ and why do you use it?
Prior to every flight, Celebrity Jet Charter
reviews each aircraft, crew and operator for safety requirements
(e.g. operator rating, aircraft maintenance record, pilot
record, crew experience with the same jet type, etc.). TripCHEQ reports
are created by ARG/US,
the leading private aviation safety authority, and use
real-time data. If any of the safety parameters reviewed
are not to Celebrity Jet Charter standards, we will find
an alternative source for a Celebrity Jet certified aircraft.
Am I required to present identification before
each flight?
Based on the Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA), all Celebrity Jet Charter Certified Operators
are required to ask for photo identification from each
passenger prior to each flight. This is only for confirmation
purposes and to help ensure a secure flight; your information
will not be shared with anybody and will only be used for
confirmation purposes. Recommended identification forms
include a valid passport or a valid driver's license. |
