Companies across four continents helped develop the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), a code of best practices. This voluntary, professional safety standard provides benefits to flight departments specifically and the business aviation community in general, in addition to promoting global harmony through the cooperative effort itself. However, implementing an all-inclusive program can be costly and time-consuming. Baldwin can help your flight department attain IS-BAO registration at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself - in 3-4 months instead of the usual 18-24 months. Comprehensive IS-BAO compliance/registration is part of the Baldwin Safety & Compliance Program, which includes the necessary processes, standards, and documents, as well as tailored operations manuals and response plans for each client. We're not a management company nor are we consultants. Instead, we do the work to set up the program - and we continue to mentor your flight department to help you maintain control of it. For those clients wishing to become IS-BAO compliant without registration, an audit will not take place and you will not be registered with IS-BAO. However, insurance companies view IS-BAO registered flight departments more favorably during the renewal process.
