TAG Aviation Receives IS-BAH Accreditation for its Ground Handling Operations in Geneva and Sion

TAG Aviation’s Fixed-Base Operations (FBOs) based in Geneva and Sion have been awarded the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) Stage 1 certificate of registration from the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) for their rigorous safety and quality ground handling operations.

The IS-BAH standard, which focuses on the refueling, ground handling and storing of general aviation aircraft, is a set of global industry’s best practices in safety management and risk mitigation for business aviation ground handlers.

The accreditation process involves a complete audit of the FBO’s safety management systems, emergency and security procedures, organisational structure, training protocols and operating procedures. Certificates of registration are issued by IBAC to FBOs that have successfully demonstrated conformity to the industry’s best practice standards through completion of a three stage-external audit by the IBAC accredited auditor.

"Congratulations to TAG Aviation on their achievement of successfully implementing, through to registration, the IS-BAH at both their Geneva and Sion locations. IBAC thanks the management and the teams involved within TAG Aviation's FBO network for their continued commitment to adopting the industry Standards with positive support,” said Terry Yeomans, IS-BAH Program Director for the IBAC.

TAG Madrid’s FBO and handling station is currently working towards implementing IS-BAH accreditation to harmonise all TAG’s FBOs under the industry-developed best practice programme.
