Private jets are held to the highest safety standards, often matching or exceeding commercial airlines. At 365 Aviation, we have been in the industry for 15 years, working exclusively with reputable and fully licensed operators worldwide. Our commitment to rigorous international safety standards guarantees that every flight provides the highest level of reliability and peace of mind for our clients.
‘Are private jets safe?’ is a question we get asked a lot and the answer is a resounding yes, often with safety measures and standards that match or exceed commercial airlines. Here’s a quick look at the various aspects of private jet safety and why flying privately is reliable choice.
Private Jet Safety Measures and Standards
Private jet operators follow strict regulations from authorities like the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Europe and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US. These regulatory bodies make sure operators follow stringent safety measures to ensure passenger well-being every step of the way.
Key Safety Measures:
Aircraft Maintenance: Private jets undergo thorough, regular checks following manufacturer- recommended schedules to keep everything in peak condition.
Pilot Qualifications & Training: Pilots undergo extensive simulator training for a wide range of scenarios and accumulate significant flight hours. Many come from commercial airline or military backgrounds, equipping them to handle busy airspace or changing weather with confidence.
Safety Audits: Operators in our network go beyond basics with voluntary third-party audits from Wyvern, ARGUS, or IS-BAO, adding an extra layer of reliability that's widely respected in the industry.
Key Safety Benchmarks:
Safety Requirement | What It Means | Why It Matters |
Air Operator Certificate (AOC) | An AOC in private aviation is the legal license issued by a national aviation authority (e.g. CAA, FAA, EASA) allowing an operator to conduct charter flights. | Confirms legal approval to operate commercial flights |
Insurance Compliance | Reputable operators maintain high-value, up-to-date insurance policies | Protects passengers and proves the operator is not using illegal ‘grey’ charter flights |
Independent Safety Audits | Voluntary, third-party audits (such as ARGUS, or Wyvern) that assess an operator’s safety records, pilot training and maintenance history beyond regulatory minimums. | Verifies operational safety standards and is viewed as an industry standard indicator of safety excellence. |
Crew Qualifications | Every flight is operated by highly experienced, licensed crew who meet the training, certification, and operational standards required by global aviation authorities. | Ensures pilot and crew have the qualifications to handle any scenario safely. |
