The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is trying to encourage charter and fractional operators to support the move to a single safety audit standard–its own–to end confusion about the multiple standards currently being used and eliminate the expense of auditing to the various standards.

Some operators face up to half a dozen audits per year at a cost of $10,000 to $15,000 each, according to ACSF president Bryan Burns, and it would be far simpler if they had to meet just one standard of compliance. Burns added that standards created by private companies are undisclosed, unlike those of the ACSF Industry Audit Standard, which are published on the ACSF website.
