New Delhi-based SRC Aviation, which will celebrate 50 years of operations next year, has been granted IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) Stage 3 registration.&nbsp;SRC specializes in handling corporate, private, and nonscheduled flights across South and Central Asia. It offers end-to-end flight management, including permits, ground handling, dispatch, customs, and charters.
SRC Aviation is India’s only IS-BAH Stage 3-registered operator and is among around 10% of FBOs/ground handlers globally to hold the top safety standard. Despite perceptions, managing director Bobby Chadha asserts that India’s services exceed global benchmarks. SRC received its latest registration in just five days—far quicker than the global norm—thanks to rigorous teamwork and deep integration of safety protocols “to ensure we do not become complacent.”
For a sector poised for growth, IS-BAH&nbsp;Stage 3 unlocks market differentiation: “Inquiries have already gone up by 25%,” noted SRC COO Harminder Singh. SRC clients include heads of state and Fortune 500 companies. An airport source told AIN that SRC recently handled a Boeing 737 flown in by Elon Musk and his team.
Earlier this year, SRC became the first international company to enter Uzbekistan post-Open Skies and airport privatization, forming a joint venture with domestic luxury company Begim for ground handling. Training of locals has started at Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Urgench airports.
