Mexican ground handling services provider ICCS has achieved Stage 3 registration under IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) for its Acapulco International Airport (MMAA) FBO. Its complex there includes a 5,382-sq-ft (500-sq-m) terminal and 32,300 sq ft of hangar space.
Stage 3 is the highest level in the safety management system-based program, and Acapulco is the first of the company’s five owned FBOs to reach that pinnacle—and only the second in Mexico. Worldwide, fewer than 20 companies have attained Stage 3.
ICCS, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, also has FBOs in Monterrey, Toluca, Saltillo, and Chihuahua, and through its affiliated service providers and ground handling offices, it can provide support at nearly every airport in the country.
“This achievement not only highlights our commitment to safety and quality, but also positions ICCS as a benchmark in the corporate aviation industry, both in Mexico and internationally,” said Miguel Ballesteros, the company’s director of operations. “We deeply appreciate our team for their hard work and dedication, which have been fundamental in reaching this important goal.”
