The International Standard for Business Aviation Handling (IS-BAH) is the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) program for FBOs and ground handlers based on the safety management system (SMS) concept. Introduced a year ago here at EBACE in Geneva, the IS-BAH program is well under way, with the first two locations certified under the standard in the last few months. In mid-February, the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) announced at the Business Aviation India conference that New Delhi-based SRC Aviation was the first aviation service provider to reach Stage I certification under IS-BAH. Fort Worth, Texas-based American Aero was the first Western Hemisphere operator to be certified.
