Every aircraft, every pilot, vetted before every flight.
Due diligence is the foundation of the PJS safety program — a proactive, predictive approach that reduces your exposure to the unexpected.
Due diligence is not a promise we make. It is the process every PJS flight is built on.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis tracks which operators hold the best practices, the safest operating histories and the highest standards for their pilots — before a client ever asks us to fly. The result is a smaller network and a simple rule: if it carries a PJS client, it has already been examined.
How vetting works
Operators are measured on operating history, aircraft age, pilot standards and liability insurance. Only 10% of the market clears the bar.
Findings are checked against FAA, DOT, NTSB, FlightSafety, ICAO and EASA data, backed by independent third-party reporting.
No standing approvals. Aircraft and crew are re-vetted before every engagement, then monitored by our operations center through landing.
The markers we check first
Safety, By Design.
Private Jet Services was founded in 2001 as a sister company to an airline with a thirty-year history. That heritage shapes every operational decision made today, particularly when it comes to safety.
PJS maintains a full-time, FAA-approved Director of Safety on staff, one of the few operators in the industry to do so on a dedicated, in-house basis. This role exists to ensure that every aircraft, every crew, and every operator considered for a charter meets a standard developed internally, not simply borrowed from an outside checklist.
A proprietary standard, built in-house.
Third-party safety ratings serve a purpose, but they do not tell the whole story. Many respected operators around the world, including major international carriers, do not participate in programs such as Argus or Wyvern, simply because those programs were not built with their type of operation in mind.
Relying solely on a third-party badge would exclude some of the safest, most capable operators available. For that reason, Private Jet Services developed its own proprietary safety review process.
Every operator under consideration is evaluated against internal standards before any charter is arranged, regardless of whether that operator carries outside certification.

Working alongside industry standards.
Private Jet Services also maintains close working relationships with several respected third-party safety rating organizations, comparing internal findings against theirs on an ongoing basis.
This approach combines the rigor of an internal, full-time safety function with the added perspective of independent review, rather than depending on one or the other alone. Detailed safety standards and evaluation criteria are available to any client upon request.
