Fractional aircraft provider Flexjet has submitted its declaration of compliance to the FAA for the new mandatory rule under Part 5 Safety Management System (SMS), meeting the regulatory requirements well before the May 2027 deadline. The decision to submit the compliance declaration follows Flexjet’s participation in the FAA's SMS Voluntary Program since 2021.

In addition to early compliance with the requirements, Flexjet has earned a series of safety certifications, including a platinum safety rating from Argus, an IS-BAO Stage 2 registration, and 25 FAA Diamond Awards for excellence in aviation maintenance training. The company said its comprehensive safety management approach ensures that safety remains a top priority for both clients and personnel.
