Chartair is pleased to announce that we have successfully become a BARS Registered Aircraft Operator.


Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) is the name of an industry-wide program created by the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) to provide organisations with a standard for managing the risk involved in using aircraft operators. The Standard is designed specifically to assist companies that engage aircraft operators to provide contracted aviation support for their operations, particularly in remote or challenging environments. 

By registering with the BARS program, Chartair has demonstrated our commitment to ensuring our clients' safety standards are maintained at all times.


We take responsibility for the safety of any operation performed by our pilots and crew members. As part of this responsibility, we must ensure that all aircraft are properly maintained, have adequate operational approvals and are regularly inspected and maintained in accordance with applicable national regulations.


We also commit ourselves to ensuring all personnel involved in an operation have completed appropriate training and hold appropriate licences/certificates relevant to their roles on board an aircraft operating under our registration number(s).


This means we can offer our clients peace of mind when engaging us for their aviation needs. This also allows us to support the leading organisations within the mining, oil & gas and general industries sector, particularly within the BARS member organisation.

For more information, please contact our team at 1300 790 800 or email reservations@chartair.com.au.
