ARGUS International, Inc. announced in Geneva on Tuesday that PrivateFly - the leading global booking platform for private jet charter - has earned the ARGUS Certified Charter Broker
rating, making them the first broker in the UK and only the second broker in Europe to earn this distinction.
As the most recognized and trusted source of information on the charter business around the world, the ARGUS Charter Broker Program raises the bar to meet the high expectations and
due diligence requirements of charter consumers and commercial aircraft operators. Although there are many charter brokers in the industry, only the finest can qualify as an ARGUS
Certified Charter Broker. The ARGUS Charter Broker Program is fully endorsed by the Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA).
"We are delighted to welcome PrivateFly as our newest ARGUS Certified Charter Broker," said
Joe Moeggenberg, President and CEO of ARGUS International, Inc.
"PrivateFly has proven themselves as an exceptional brokerage based on sound business principles and a very well-trained and experienced staff. It brings ARGUS great pride to award PrivateFly with the
Certified Broker status. Also a BACA member, PrivateFly's recent certification is yet another step toward raising the standard within the charter broker industry to provide operators and
consumers with charter brokers they can trust, and that are truly dedicated to providing cost-effective, secure air transportation."
"We're proud and absolutely delighted that PrivateFly is one of the first brokers to receive this certification," said
Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly. "It's a welcome validation for our whole
team. The scrutiny of the audit was something we really welcomed and enjoyed. At PrivateFly, we focus on continuous improvement and development - and the process helped to raise
some ideas for our future evolution."
Twidell went on to say, "For years, the charter broker has been a key part of the supply chain that was not audited, so it's great to be a trailblazer in that change. Operators are
highly-regulated, and FBOs now have the new IS-BAH standard. Now, professional brokers can stand out from their field with the new ARGUS Certified Broker status.
