These are the safety standards and practices ECS follows when arranging charter flights.
ECS has arranged thousands of charter flights and, to our knowledge, has never had a client flight incident. This reflects a consistent focus on sourcing properly certificated operators and prioritizing recognized safety standards on every trip.
ECS arranges flights only with properly certificated commercial air carriers that meet FAA Part 135 requirements (or international equivalent).
ECS prioritizes operators with recognized third-party safety ratings, including WYVERN and ARGUS.
ECS can request additional crew experience, training, and currency standards beyond baseline requirements, subject to operator availability.
For clients requiring elevated standards, ECS can source operators that meet stricter criteria, including additional operational and crew experience requirements.
