The Air Charter Association’s chief executive, Glenn Hogben (center), said the Seal of Accreditation will instill a sense of safety and security for charter customers.

The Air Charter Association (The ACA) has launched a Seal of Accreditation process to indicate that its member companies have been assessed as meeting the standards of professionalism set out in the industry group’s Code of Practice. All new member companies are subject to accreditation checks, which are largely based on endorsement by existing members to verify that companies are reliable and operate legally.

To be considered for membership, companies must be able to show they have been trading for at least 12 months. Those applying within two years need to be supported by managers or directors from two current corporate members, and also present two independent trade references. Charter aircraft operators need references from brokers they have recently worked with and, conversely, brokers need endorsements from operators.
