Travelers do not sacrifice safety when they choose
private air charter over commercial airlines; in fact,
business aircraft have compiled an oustanding safety
record in recent years, comparable to or better than
that of the airlines. Moreover, the level of control
afforded to those choosing private aviation often increases
the traveler’s sense of safety. And private jets obviously
offer much greater security in terms of the protection
of sensitive business information.
Celebrity Jet Charter enhances the inherent safety of
private aviation with its own high level of security
standards as it regards to both the equipment and its
operators.
Jet Certification
All aircraft selected by Celebrity is owned or managed
by FAA-certified operators. For a jet to be included
in Celebrity Jet Charter’s available fleet:
- The aircraft must be under full operational control
of a Celebrity-certified operator
- The aircraft must meet the profile and model type
of those in the Celebrity program
- The Owner must carry appropriate level of insurance
and up-to-date documentation
- The aircraft must have ARG/US-certified Pilot-in-Command
and Second-in-Command
Operator Certification
Prospective providers for Celebrity undergo
comprehensive examinations of both their operations and
management. In order to be certified Celebrity aircraft
provider every operator must:
- Meet the required safety standards of Aviation
Research Group U.S. (ARG/US), and always maintain
at least a Gold rating*
- Have current and up-to-date official regulatory documentation
- Have proper insurance commitments and documentation
- Execute and adhere to a "Celebrity Aircraft
Provider Agreement"
- Provide detailed pilot and crew information on an
ongoing basis
- Uphold continual maintenance and compliance with
all Sentient criteria
An ARG/US Gold level is assigned to operators who
meet or exceed the established ARG/US standards for
equipment and crew experience and consistently provide
up-to-date data. The emphasis is on modern avionics,
progressive maintenance, and proven safety commitments.
For more information on ARG/US evaluation standards,
see below.
ARG/US Evaluation
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 services include
a system of safety rankings that provides prospective
clients with a clear evaluation of every aircraft and
its crew.
The ARG/US carrier rating system categorizes air charter
carriers and their private jets into one of four levels:
DNQ, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. To qualify for a Gold
rating, the minimum standard accepted by Celebrity Air
Charter, carriers must provide detailed pilot and aircraft
records to ARG/US for review. The Platinum rating involves
an onsite audit by inspectors trained to Department of
Defense Standards. For more details, see: http://www.aviationresearch.com.
Pre-Flight ARG/US TripCheq
For every private jet flight, ARG/US provides
a unique service called the TripCHEQ Report (Charter
Evaluation and Qualification). The most comprehensive
and detailed safety analysis program in the industry,
TripCHEQ examines each reserved plane, pilot, and carrier
before every flight. It tracks pilot certificates, type
ratings, accidents, incidents, violations, operator certificates,
operational control of the aircraft and aircraft insurance
levels. All of these factors are checked specifically
within each client’s trip parameters.
By adhering to the TripCHEQ program, Celebrity Jet Charter
ensures that each of its flights undergoes multiple,
real-time safety evaluations using the TripCHEQ program.
Celebrity will never assign an aircraft or crew that
does not meet 100% of the safety requirements it has
developed in tandem with ARG/US and TripCHEQ
Included in each pre-flight analysis is an automatic
evaluation of the following:
- FAA and NTSB records
- Pilot qualification records including flight time
and experience records
- Certifications, training documents and insurance
information
Should an aircraft not meet our safety requirements,
we will immediately assign another jet to complete the
trip.
Private jet charter is one of the safest methods of
travel available. Air charter carriers operate their
private jets with regular oversight from the FAA on operations,
maintenance and training. Most carriers exceed the training
requirements dictated by the FAA.
Celebrity Jet Charter provides its clients with extra
protection by demanding an additional level of safety
inspection through ARG/US, Wyvern and/or
the Flight
Safety Foundation.
Wyvern
Many of our carriers are inspected by Wyvern.
Widely regarded as a badge of quality in the air charter
industry, a Wyvern-approved carrier has undergone a thorough
onsite records check and operations review. Wyvern publishes
a for-fee report on their audited carriers. For more
information on Wyvern services see: http://www.wyvernltd.com.
The Flight Safety Foundation
This non-profit organization is dedicated to
the improvement of all areas of flight safety. Carriers
audited by FSF earn QStar approval. Aviation veterans
(each with more than 20 years of industry experience)
examine an aircraft charter company’s operations in detail
before granting this endorsement. For more information,
see the FSF website at: http://www.flightsafety.org/qstar.html.
Celebrity Jet Charter is able to offer a comprehensive
package of security services expressly designed to meet
the needs of government officials, celebrities and business
executives. Celebrity can provide effective, discreet
Executive or VIP protection in addition to services such
as Aircraft Security and Passenger Verification. Celebritys

security are addressed by evaluating your situation and
