Charter - Lets Talk About Safety, Early On....

At Virgin Charter - our goal was to set out to eliminate what we call "the blind date". So many believe that if your on a private jet, well, its private, which must mean its "safe"...Right? Well, its not always the case.

For years, Charter has unfortunately gained a reputation of being less desirable in terms of safety, quality and security. The Virgin Charter marketplace is open to only a select and hand picked group of top tier Charter Operators. At a minimum we require a gold or platinum ARGUS and Wyvern rating. We also require our own on-site inspection prior to approval. Virgin Charter must live up to the Virgin standard in aviation, thus, we have created a checklist of safety requirements specific to us.

Later I will talk about our relationship with JDPower and associates which has created the first ever ratings system relative to quality.

Today I wanted to share a video from The Aviation Online Television Network. This is a video staring an executive from Wyvern. You will hear first hand what they do in order to qualify and rate and operator.
