Charter Flight Safety is a #1 Priority
Safety is the solid basis upon which Newport Jets was founded. At Newport Jets, no safety standard is left unaddressed with our private jet charter. Our company only sources aircraft from owner/operators who are members in good standing with ARG/US®, Wyvern®, NATA®, and NATA First®. By complying with the strict policies established by these groups, your safety remains our number one priority.
Every private jet charter flight we source from owners/operators, and each member of the flight crew, is subject to the most stringent safety screening in the industry. All aircraft owner/operator U.S.-based aircraft possess at least a Gold Rating from the Aircraft Research Group/US®, with equivalent ratings required for non-U.S.-based aircraft. Each aircraft is FAR Part 135 and 91 regulated and required to carry a log detailing its entire maintenance history.
Each Newport Jets private jet travel flight is piloted by two pilots – both of which are certified and type rated for the aircraft they are flying and have a minimum of 3500 hours of flight time (including 1000 hours of cross-country time, 100 of which must
have taken place at night). In addition, all pilots are required to hold an Airline Transport Certificate instrument rating within the Airplane category.
Not only do strict rules exist governing the maintenance of our operator’s aircraft and who may fly them, aircraft size, airport facilities, and runway length are all factored into the safety equation. No jet chartered by Newport Jets may land on a runway less than 5,000 feet long and no aircraft may operate at any airport that hasn’t been certified for that type craft’s use by the FAA.
Security: Peace of Mind, the Ultimate in Luxury
At Newport Jets we have the highest standards in security for every private jet charter flight. You choose who you and your family flies with. In addition, you have the security in knowing that every passenger who has flown on the aircraft prior to your flight has been screened by comprehensive TSA standards. The TSA requires the full legal names of all passengers. Each passenger over the age of 18 must present a valid, government issued photo ID prior to boarding any Newport Jets aircraft.
Crewmembers are required to display their Company issued photo identification badge, at waist level or above, when on or in the vicinity of the aircraft. In addition, all crewmembers are required to carry valid government issued photo identification while on flight status. All aircraft are locked and secured when crewmembers are absent from the plane. All passengers are escorted from the FBO to the aircraft by a crewmember.
No detail is left to chance. In addition to these standard safety procedures, Newport Jets can provide at your request, armed or unarmed security details to further ensure the safety of you and your family.
