Metrojet Limited, a leading business aircraft services provider based in Hong Kong with presence in Asia, has successfully achieved the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Stage 3 certification, further affirming its distinguished efforts in attaining recognised world-class safety standards.

IS-BAO contains three stages of certification where Stage 3 is the highest registration certificate issued by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC). The successful completion of an audit verifies that safety management activities are fully integrated into the operator's business and that a positive safety culture is integrated and supported in our daily operations.

“Flying 20 years without accidents is an important milestone for Metrojet,” said Mr. Björn Näf, chief executive officer of Metrojet. “We are very proud of delivering our promise to provide clients operational excellence and our efforts will continue to be the best in what we do.”

We are delighted to see our staff uphold the highest international safety standards, also allowing Metrojet to be recognised internationally for its achievement.”

Metrojet has developed its own safety management system (SMS) and become the first business aviation organisation gaining SMS certification in Asia in 2009.

The company provides comprehensive aircraft management, charter, maintenance and consultancy services, and pioneered business aviation services for 20 years in Hong Kong.
