Fort Worth, Texas-based aviation services provider American Aero FTW has been named as the first to achieve Stage 3 registration under the International Business Aviation Council’s (IBAC, Booth 687) International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH). In a presentation Tuesday morning at NBAA 2018, the FBO—which was the first in the Western Hemisphere to earn Stage 1 registration and one of the first in the world to successfully register as Stage 2—was recognized for its steadfast participation in the voluntary, audit-based safety program that launched in July 2014.

“American Aero FTW continues to set the pace for the industry when it comes to safety management and risk mitigation,” said IS-BAH program director Terry Yeomans. “By doing so, they demonstrate their leadership in creating a performance-based, risk-averse culture that is centered on excellence.”
