SINGAPORE, Jan. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Aviation Singapore, based at Seletar Airport (WSSL), has earned accreditation under the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) program.
Universal Aviation Singapore joins Universal Aviation London Stansted (EGSS) as the second Universal Aviation location to become an IS-BAH accredited location. Universal Aviation, the ground support division of Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc., has more than 40 locations in 20 countries.
“Earning our IS-BAH accreditation is validation of our ongoing commitment to safety and ensuring our client’s mission success by reducing their operating risk and stress,” said Yvonne Chan, Managing Director, Universal Aviation Singapore. “We are proud to earn this level of distinction, as it demonstrates to our customers and stakeholders our unwavering dedication to implementing industry-recognized best practices for safety, systems, training, and security.”

The IS-BAH follows the structure of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Program and incorporates the NATA Safety 1st Ground Audit Program. IS-BAH is the global industry standard for handlers and operators around the world to meet the coming SMS requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
