Starspeed, based at Fairoaks Airport, has become the only UK commercial helicopter operating company to
be accredited with Stage II of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations
(IS-BAO).
IS-BAO is internationally recognized and respected as the global standard in safety requirements for the business aviation operator community. It is a set of performance-based standards
that uses the safety management system as its cornerstone, addressing operations, maintenance, training and other related issues. The company first achieved Stage I accreditation in
2014.
Starspeed Director, Simon Mitchell said: “Starspeed has been committed to the goals of achieving the highest possible standards in safety management and helicopter operation. So, it
is with much pride that the Company’s efforts have been recognised with an elevated status to Stage II in the
IS-BAO.”
He continued: “Our success comes down to our great team built up of well-motivated experts, working within an environment of transparency and trust; but Starspeed will not relax for a
moment, and remains committed to improving standards through technology and training at every opportunity it can see.”
Starspeed Ltd. is the largest privately-owned helicopter management, charter and training company in Europe. It presently manages 16 aircraft and is one of the oldest privately
owned firms within the onshore market.
