JETS (Biggin Hill) Limited receives ISO quality award

JETS (Biggin Hill) Limited, which marked its first birthday in January, has been endorsed with ISO 9001 certification. This status follows an appraisal of its quality of expertise and capabilities by an independent assessor. This accreditation, supported by the UK Government and widely recognized in industry around the world, follows hard on the heels of the same award to JETS Bournemouth last summer.

Chris Webb, Quality Safety & Airworthiness Manager of JETS (Biggin Hill) Limited, who accepted the certificate from Lead Auditor of QMS International plc Jerry Martin says, “We are delighted to earn this status for our Biggin Hill facility after just one year of operations here, JETS (Biggin Hill) has quickly become an important base for our expanding maintenance activities in the UK and we have experienced a marked increase in visiting Falcon business jets coming in for MRO activity since winning Authorised Service Centre status from Dassault.”
