Private Jet Charter Safety

IMPULSE JETS CHARTER
Private Jet Charter Safety

Impulse Jets takes an industry-leading approach to private jet charter safety.

Impulse Jets is a subsidiary of Oxford Aerospace Ltd., Clarendon House, 52 Cornmarket Street, Oxford, OX1 3HJ, United Kingdom.

Impulse Jets’ safety commitment

The aircraft operators that carry out Impulse Jets’ flights (i.e., our operator suppliers) are subject to rigorous standards of safety and service. These industry-leading standards are set by our Group Safety Officers, who report directly into our parent group’s senior executive team.

Air Operator Certificate (AOC)

In order to operate private jet charter flights, aircraft operators have to complete a thorough process, by law, to satisfy the relevant country’s national aviation authority that they are competent to undertake safe commercial operation of aircraft.

If this set of stringent requirements is met, an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) will be granted. This is alternatively known as an Air Carrier Operating Certificate in the USA.

The requirements for an AOC do vary from country to country, but generally includes an audit of areas such as company safety policy; management and organisational competence; crew training; aircraft maintenance; aircraft loading; flight planning; and fuel planning. It normally takes an operator or airline over 2 years to be issued with an AOC. It is a vigorous process and many new start-ups fail to be granted this license to fly passengers.

Impulse Jets only works with approved operators who have a current AOC certification.
