Safety
We strive to operate above and beyond
Safety, security, regulatory compliance, and quality. As a longstanding leader in private aviation, these are Pentastar’s top priorities at all times. They inspire our actions as we continue setting the standard for world-class aviation services.
We strive to operate above and beyond FAA and international regulatory standards.

In addition, our robust SMS highlights our steadfast commitment to safety, ensuring secure ramp access and a safe environment for anyone who enters our facility.
