Blue Spruce Capital successfully demonstrated its commitment to safety management and operational excellence.

The Air Charter Safety Foundation’s (ACSF’s) Industry Audit Standard Lite (IAS Lite) program is gaining traction, with Blue Spruce Capital becoming the latest company to achieve the registration. ACSF launched the Lite version of its comprehensive IAS in 2024 to offer a streamlined program for non-commercial and small charters that may not have the resources of major operators. Quest Diagnostics was the first to gain Lite recognition.

The Lite program provides a pathway to strengthening safety management systems in alignment with Part 5 and is designed to help operators build a stronger safety culture while avoiding the complexity of a larger audit program.
