With all 14 of its locations having achieved accreditation under the International Business Aviation Council’s (IBAC) International Standard for Business Aviation Handling (IS-BAH) audit, TAC Air became the first FBO chain to claim this distinction. The process requires a complete review of an individual location’s safety management systems, emergency procedures, organizational structure, security procedures, training protocols and operations.

“The International Business Aviation Council congratulates the entire TAC Air team in demonstrating such a strong commitment to building and maintaining a culture based on safety management and risk mitigation,” said Terry Yeomans, IBAC’s IS-BAH program director. Registration to IS-BAH is granted to those establishments that demonstrate conformity to the industry’s best practices through an external audit.

“We’d rather be better than lucky,” said Christian Sasfai, TAC Air’s vice president and COO. “As we continue to grow our network, it becomes increasingly important to formalize our process for continuous improvement and build upon the safety culture already in place."
