Jet Linx continued its tradition of pausing all flight operations for its annual Safety Summit.&nbsp; Convening the 8th annual edition of the event today, Jet Linx brought together 550 team members for a deep probe into a range of safety topics. Also celebrating its quarter-century milestone, Jet Linx themed this year’s summit “25 Years of Safety.”
The private jet management and jet card company first hosted the event with a voluntary fleet grounding in 2017. This year’s event features a keynote from Amy Grubb, a digital transformation advisor for the FBI, who is well-known within business aviation safety circles for her background in leadership development, organizational culture, and change management. In addition to multiple roles at the FBI, Grubb chaired the Bombardier Safety Standdown Advisory Council.
"The Safety Summit provides a powerful platform for our team to collaboratively explore new horizons in safety, share best practices, and reinforce our shared responsibility to safeguard our clients, team members, and aircraft,” said Jet Linx president and CEO Brent Wouters. "With Amy Grubb's expertise in organizational psychology and change management, we are excited to gain valuable insights that will further strengthen our safety-centric culture."
Along with Grubb, the summit includes an annual safety performance review, case studies on emerging safety challenges, and internal safety awards.
"Safety is deeply ingrained in Jet Linx's cultural DNA, and the Safety Summit serves as a reminder of our commitment to continuously raising the bar," said Jet Linx v-p of safety&nbsp;RD Johnson. "By bringing together our entire team, we foster an environment of open dialogue, continuous learning, and collective responsibility, ensuring that safety remains at the forefront of every decision we make."
The operator was the first to achieve an Argus Platinum Elite rating and also received Wyvern Wingman Pro accreditation and IS-BAO Stage 3 registration.
