New Jersey-based aviation services provider Meridian—which operates FBOs at Teterboro Airport and a recently opened facility across the country at San Francisco-area Hayward Executive Airport—has earned registration for both locations under IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aviation Handling (IS-BAH).  

Based on ICAO standards and recommended practices in the preparation for handling business aircraft, the voluntary program was designed to promote safety management system adoption among FBOs and ground handlers, similar to the organization’s IS-BAO standard for business aircraft operators, of which Meridian holds Stage II registration.

“We are proud to be recognized for our continued commitment and conformance to these standards following the audit process that resulted in an IBAC certificate of registration for Hayward, as well as for our TEB FBO,” said Carlos Rodriguez, general manager of the company’s West Coast facility. “We’re dedicated to providing safe, efficient, and outstanding service in every aspect of our operations. Receiving IS-BAH accreditation shows our customers how much we value them.”
