Luxaviation Group, one of the largest private aircraft operators worldwide headquartered in Luxembourg, has started to implement the highest hygiene and safety standards recently developed by FlySkills together with Socotec, a leader in certifications and risk assessment.

FlySkills, an independently working Luxaviation Group company, is supervising the adoption of these industry-leading standards across operators and fixed-based operators (FBO). Luxaviation Group operators and ExecuJet FBOs are the pioneering and launching customers to gain this new accreditation. 

The FlySkills Hygiene Certification (FHC) Program is available to all FBOs, aircraft operators and owners enabling them to demonstrate that defined and accredited hygiene standards have been implemented and are both followed and subject to regular compliance auditing.

The FlySkills hygiene procedures validated by Socotec will allow any participating FBO, operator or aircraft owner to be listed in the FlySkills’ certification database. This listing will be made available to charter brokers and dispatch departments and related B2C and B2B platforms, enabling them to choose suppliers at any location that meet the hygiene protocols their customers are demanding. FlySkills accredited organisations are certified to minimise the risk of exposure of their aircraft owners and charter customers to COVID-19 and other such communicable diseases.

Georges Disewiscourt, Managing Director of FlySkills, commented: “FlySkills will not only provide FBOs and aircraft operators with sanitisation procedures but also, through our Certification Program, allows these businesses to demonstrate and promote their commitment towards excellence for passenger hygiene considerations”. 

Aircraft owners will additionally be able to demonstrate the achievement of the highest hygiene standards to their families, passengers, crew and staff through FlySkills Aircraft Hygiene Certification (FHC).

FlySkills is working with companies developing innovating equipment suite to further expand the scope of offering.
