Returnjet, the world's leading charter marketplace, and ARGUS, the global leader in charter aircraft safety accreditation, have agreed exclusive terms to provide a realtime platform to showcase ARGUS rated charter operators and aircraft.

Returnjet has now integrated the ARGUS ratings into its search functionality. This allows Returnjet.com users to filter their searches to obtain ARGUS rated charter operators.

The ARGUS rating is the most sought after symbol of quality for charter consumers around the globe. Approximately 500 participating operators come from more than 15 countries on 5 different continents and collectively account for over 4000 aircraft. Since the rating program's inception in 2001, charter consumers have run over a half-million TripCHEQ reports.

Returnjet has secured contracts with 700 of the world's charter operators, with 3,800 aircraft across 102 countries worldwide, making it the world's most connected hub.

Mark Blanchfield, ceo of Returnjet, sees the partnership as another progressive step along the way in the rapid growth of his company, “Since inception we have always striven to build a network of key partners across the aviation industry. Our partnership with ARGUS enables us to consolidate and improve our quality offering and to further endorse the premise that we are the 'better connected' choice for brokers for accessing and reviewing global charter options.”

“Because ARGUS rated charter operators are the most desired providers for informed charter buyers around the globe, ARGUS wants to make sure that today's web-based consumers have the ability to perform high level due-diligence while checking availability and price”, said ARGUS president and ceo, Joe Moeggenberg. “The internet's ability to connect charter brokers, end consumers and suppliers in an efficient manner has become very important to the overall charter marketplace. ARGUS performs its own research on every website that seeks an integration with our ratings, and we were extremely impressed with the Returnjet website, and how well it allows users to perform their searches in a quick and efficient manner.”
