The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has developed the International Standard – Business Aircraft Operators (IS-BAO). This standard has been recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) safety management system requirement. Although not yet required within the United States, any aircraft flying in ICAO territories is now required to maintain an active Safety Management System (SMS). Completion of the IS-BAO audit and registration process is a demanding and daunting task requiring dedication and a sincere commitment to building a corporate structure that promulgates a solid safety effort. Fair Wind completed the IS-BAO Level 3 certification in 2018.

Last, and certainly not least, we are also audited by NetJets, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, Sentient, as well as other fractional card companies in order to provide supplemental lift.
