The ARGUS Certified Charter Broker accreditation is awarded following a comprehensive audit of a broker's operational practices, safety due diligence processes, and organizational procedures. The certification confirms that Surf On Demand meets rigorous industry standards designed to promote transparency, operational integrity, and enhanced safety oversight in private aviation brokerage. While there are over 400 ARGUS certified operators, Surf On Demand is now one of only 16 ARGUS certified brokerages globally.

As our business continues to grow, we will maintain the highest industry standards to deliver the level of service and reliability our clients expect."

Their team demonstrated the commitment to safety, operational excellence, and quality service that distinguishes ARGUS Certified Brokers."

As part of the Company's broader safety initiative, Surf On Demand has also joined the Air Charter Safety Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing safety, professionalism, and operational best practices throughout the charter aviation industry.
Through ACSF membership, Surf On Demand will collaborate with operators, brokers, and industry stakeholders to promote safety management systems, operational risk management, and safety education initiatives for the private aviation sector.
The ARGUS certification and ACSF membership reflect Surf On Demand's ongoing commitment to strengthening safety oversight and accountability as demand for the Company's On Demand charter services continues to grow.
Surf On Demand also continues to expand its technology-enabled brokerage through the "Powered by Surf On Demand" program, which equips independent third-party charter brokers with the Company's proprietary BrokerOS software, operator network, and broader operational infrastructure. The technology streamlines quoting, sourcing, compliance checks, and trip management while providing the third-party brokers with structured training and operational procedures designed to align with Surf On Demand's ARGUS certified due diligence and safety standards. By combining SurfOSTM technology with standardized operational practices, Surf On Demand enables brokers to scale their businesses while maintaining the transparency, safety oversight, and service quality expected in the private aviation industry.
