BALDWIN AVIATION RECEIVES FIRST IBAC SUPPORT SERVICES AFFILIATE REGISTRATION AT NBAA CONVENTION

Baldwin Aviation, Inc. (BAI) was recognized as the first ever recipient of a Support Services Affiliate (SSA) Certificate awarded by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) at the 2012 National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention in Orlando during the IS-BAO Process, Gold Standard Session on October 30. Baldwin is the initial organization qualified by IBAC to provide Safety Management System (SMS) implementation, maintenance and tracking services; and to develop and maintain policies, standards and procedures for operators of business aircraft.

IBAC created the new category to qualify SMS implementers in September 2012 to more specifically define aviation support organizations capable of providing service support to business aircraft operators. In citing Baldwin Aviation as the first SSA, IBAC stated that recipients of its certification “undertake to ensure that they will adhere to current IS-BAO standards and procedures and comply with applicable support services affiliates’ policies posted on the IBAC website.” IS-BAO is a code of best practices which essentially structures ISO 9000 principles to apply to aviation safety.
