Living the Safety Imperative

After 12 years of operation and over 80,000 flight hours, AirSprint is very proud of our exceptional safety track record. Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures we remain diligent, looking at each flight as an opportunity for ever improving levels of safety. The foundations for these improvements are:

Technology. The Citation CJ2+ is legendary for comfort, robust design and docile handling characteristics. In the CJ2+ these qualities are combined with the latest in jet engine technology and flight guidance systems. These are the latest generation of business aircraft.

Standardization. The company`s pursuit of safety focuses on a highly disciplined approach to process and procedure. It is only through stable, repeatable procedures that we can consistently attain our customer service and safety objectives.

Safety Management System (SMS). Highly standardized operations need a "system to improve the system". This is the purpose of the company’s SMS. Opportunities for improvement are identified through a non-punitive reporting system, where front-line personnel report incidents and errors. In addition, AirSprint relies on extensive internal audits and Quality Assurance (QA) programs.

Training. Flying a jet aircraft is a high performance task. Accordingly, our belief is that training should be constant and rigorous. Our pilot training programs exceed regulatory requirements and are a combination of company instruction, Flight Safety Ground School and flight simulation.

Culture. A company's safety culture is one of the most important aspects of its ability to maintain safe operations. We strive for a safe culture that maintains the delicate balance between our confidence in the ability of our people and aircraft to complete their missions, while remaining constantly vigilant in assessing and responding to risk.

Aircraft Maintenance. AirSprint operates under the commercial standards set out in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and our aircraft are maintained by professionally trained aircraft engineers in accordance with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and government standards. In addition, the interiors of our aircraft are impeccably maintained throughout their life in the program.

“The versatility of taking care of business in one business day has been incredible. Our big win with AirSprint has been revenue generation.”

“Since you can’t save time or get it back, we don’t want you to waste it.”

“We value your time and we want to give you more of it.”

“With the AirSprint folks I know that the quality control goes into both their maintenance program as well as the selection and training of the pilots.”

“Fractional ownership is fiscally responsible. You’re buying as much of an aircraft as you need."

“I look at it as an office in the sky."

“I can book an Aircraft out of St. Johns Newfoundland, fly home commercially and book out of Nanaimo the next day.”

“From the standpoint of convenience, there is no comparison.”

“The environment on the plane is one of the most respected business environments…a very productive place to do business.”

“I look at AirSprint as a necessity for growth."

“I would really recommend someone try it, integrate it within your business plan as a revenue builder."

“We get on and we go. The beauty is even when we’re riding together we’ve got quiet time. There’s no blackberries, no cell phones. It’s great meeting space.”

“By the time you’ve cleared customs commercially, you could already have arrived at your destination privately.”

“Their flexibility and their professionalism has been first class.”

“The short turn, in terms of having an aircraft available, has always been invaluable.”

“I’ve always been big on family, and AirSprint makes you feel like we’re all part of one family.”

“The greatest gift on a personal and emotional level for me, in flying with AirSprint, has been the ability to get home and spend time with my boys.”

“I can be flying to Nanaimo on a Monday and the next day having an aircraft that’s in St. John, Newfoundland picking up someone to fly to Halifax because of the national, really the North American nature of AirSprint’s business.”

"Use the aircraft as a revenue builder and reward yourself by getting out more and getting things done.”

"It’s efficient, it’s productive, it’s the way to go.”

“With AirSprint Private Aviation, your time is your own.”

“A private plane offers you the opportunity to have a boardroom in the air. Just imagine what can be accomplished in an hour or two in those circumstances.”
