A large part of the regulatory change is mandating the full disclosure to customers of a Broker\u2019s relationships with Part 135 and 121 operators, on contracts, websites, and other marketing materials. That includes letting customers know a Broker is only arranging, not operating, a charter flight.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re proud to have been part of the movement bringing this regulation to pass. For almost three decades we\u2019ve operated transparently, meeting the criteria of the new regulations long before the process to regulate our industry began. You can view information on the regulations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportation.gov\/sites\/dot.gov\/files\/docs\/resources\/individuals\/aviation-consumer-protection\/322431\/2018-18345-fr-copy-pub-091718.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Le Bas International is a Wyvern Broker, and a registered ARG\/US Broker<br \/><\/strong>We work tirelessly to meet the standards these reputable Flight Safety Audit entities demand. We use their extensive databases as part of our due diligence process.

Every Carrier is licensed by its local \/ regional \/ national governmental Aviation Authority. We hold copies of a Carrier\u2019s Operating Certificate and specifications on file. Occasionally, a reputable Carrier will employ an exclusive sales agent for its fleet, or a specific aircraft. In this instance, we\u2019ll confirm there\u2019s a properly documented trail, and the Carrier is party to any agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insurance<\/strong><br \/>Good Carriers carry correct, and adequate insurance! In Europe, this is regulated by <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?qid=1550151969507&amp;uri=CELEX:32004R0785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EU regulation 785\/2004<\/a>. In the US Carriers typically insure aircraft as follows; turboprop $3m per seat, light or mid-size jet $5m per seat, large cabin jet $100m ++ and airliners $500m ++. If we see an exception to these norms we we\u2019ll inform you. (Insurance amounts tend to be less in developing countries, we\u2019ll disclose and discuss those amounts of part of the booking process.) Every Carrier we work with must provide proof of adequate insurance. We hold copies of these insurance documents on file. As a reputable Broker, we also carry insurance, in the form of a non-owned aircraft liability policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flight Crew<\/strong><br \/>Good Carriers employ qualified, experienced crews. For passenger flights vested with US based Carriers we look to the Wyvern &amp; ARG\/US industry standards. In Europe EASA is the benchmark. Outside these markets we look to Carriers to meet the Wyvern &amp; ARG\/US standards, but like insurance, these can be lower in developing countries. Once again, we\u2019ll disclose this information as part of the booking process. Pilot information is available upon request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Audits<\/strong><br \/>In addition to governmental authority to operate, many Carriers carry third party Carrier \/ aircraft \/ crew audit ratings with companies such as Wyvern and ARG\/US. If it\u2019s available for a Carrier, we\u2019re happy to share this information at no additional cost upon request. If a full Carrier safety audit is required, an additional cost may incurred.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flight SafetySafetyYour safety is of paramount importance to us.
