The Air Charter Association (ACA) is focusing on the need for a clear industry standard for U.S. charter brokers as the organization works to strengthen its presence in North America. The association, which in June named business aviation veteran Ryan Waguespack to its newly formed non-executive board to represent the North American region, recently hosted its inaugural regional roundtable in the U.S. at Centennial Airport in Denver.

The lack of such an industry standard was a key area of concern among attendees at the event last month, hosted by Mayo Aviation and open to all U.S. charter professionals. This goes to the heart of ACA’s membership, the organization said, noting that its members must undergo an accreditation process to ensure they meet certain standards. In addition, ACA has developed an Air Charter Broker Qualification and launched an online broker training course.
