Private jet operator passes stage 3 safety audit

According to Asian Aviation, the International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling has conducted a stage 3 safety audit for the Macau operations of TAG, a Swiss aviation company.

The audit certified the facility has achieved the highest level of safety standards, indicating the presence of a sustainable safety culture for both workers and customers.

This certification is particularly noteworthy because TAG Macau FBO is one of the newest facilities worldwide to attain this level of recognition, only five years after its establishment in Macau.

Rita Tam, the general manager of TAG Macau FBO, expressed her team’s excitement about this accomplishment. “TAG Macau FBO is one of the youngest FBO to reach this pinnacle. This achievement demonstrates our team’s commitment to excellence and unwavering dedication to safety, efficiency and customer satisfaction,” she said.

TAG offers various business aviation services in Macau, including passenger handling, VIP and business-executive amenities, on-site customs and immigration clearance, flight planning and chartering, as well as aircraft maintenance and servicing.

Private jet travel has been significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and a substantial decrease in the number of VIP gambling junkets to Macau.

In the first 10 months of 2023, there were only 734 private charter flights in and out of Macau, which is approximately 30% of the pre-pandemic numbers during the same period in 2019. Staff Reporter
