Sun Aviation Receives Certification For International Standard For Business Aircraft Handling
Sun Aviation recently received certification for International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH). A joint program between International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and the National Air Transportation Association (NATA), the IS-BAH certification is a global code of best practices for the FBO and business aviation handling agent community. Sun Aviation is the second FBO in the United States to earn this distinction.
The Sun Aviation team worked for 10 months to earn the IS-BAH certification, which illustrates the organization’s determination to incorporate the highest professional operational practices and pursue the continuation of an already excellent safety record. The IS-BAH is the ground operation complement to IBAC’s International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) used by many of Sun’s clients.
Pete Holman, Director of Operations at Sun Jet Center says, “The receipt of the IS-BAH Certification represents nearly a year of hard work by the Sun Aviation team. This achievement is shared by the whole Sun Operations group and illustrates our culture of continued improvement and dedication to safety for our team, our customers and our community. We are honored to be recognized as a leader in development and integration of industry best practices.”
A family owned and operated, full-service aviation services provider, Sun Aviation has a long history and rich legacy in the general aviation community. Sun’s reputation as a knowledgeable FBO and Part 145 Repair Station maintenance facility dedicated to safety and extraordinary customer service is well known in the global aviation community.
Tom Coughlin, President and CEO at Air-Sur, Inc. has worked with the Holman family and Sun Aviation for decades and says, “Sun’s receipt of the IS-BAH certification is another example of how this unique, independent, fourth generation, family-owned company, continues their impeccable safety record and consistently stays at the top of their game – and at the top of the industry.”
The Holman family, who owns and operates Sun Aviation, has a long legacy of aviation excellence. In 1929, Bud Holman, whose sons and grandsons are now running Sun Aviation, was one of the members of the group that built the Vero Beach airport, which in turn was responsible for bringing the Dodgers, Eastern Airlines, and Piper Aircraft to Vero Beach. The family has owned and operated Sun Aviation ever since.
