Acronym’s abound in every aspect of our lives. We use them to communicate when we speak, text, write. Companies use them in their marketing to consumers to make their product stick in our memories. Companies also use them to drive home ideas and training with their employees to help aid in their memory of key initiatives. They abound everywhere we look and in every industry. The aircraft industry is no different. FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, IFR, instrument flight rules, and probably 1,000’s of others. We use the same with our company name SSC, Special Services Corporation. As I was think about why brokers and clients use us for their charter travel or maintenance another acronym came to my mind which represents our top priority in our operation, SAFETY. The acronym that I thought of was SSC, Safety Standard Conscious.
Since we are a Part 135 charter operator we are required to follow the strict standards of the FAA but we do not stop with just their standards. We are Wyvern Wingman Approved, and ARG/US Gold rated. In addition to those standards we also received the 50 Year Safety Award from the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) for operating accident free since our inception in 1958. What does this mean to you as a customer? These Wyvern and ARGUS ratings ensure high aircraft maintenance standards are met, our aircraft are properly insured, and our pilots have the necessary training and are qualified to fly our aircraft. This means peace of mind for you as a customer or potential customer when you, your family, or business associates fly with SSC. It means we put safety in front of profits. So the next time you hear SSC you will know what is in our name.
