Jet Linx grounded its fleet last week for its 9th Annual Safety Summit. This year’s theme was Safety: Beyond the Checklist.
More than 500 employees of Jet Linx gathered at its Omaha, Nebraska headquarters for its 9th Annual Safety Summit.
The top-10 charter operator, as usual, grounded its fleet for the day.
Included was a roundtable featuring former NASA Astronaut Charlie Precourt, Captain Rich Loudon, and US Air Force Major Tyler Hicks.
The event also included scenario-based exercises.
This year’s theme was Safety: Beyond the Checklist.
It encouraged employees to think critically about how personal accountability and effective team communication contribute to operational safety.
Executive Chairman Jamie Walker said, “A healthy safety culture is when every single team member is engaged in the safety thought process every day.”
Walker added, “And while this is just one day out of 365, the fact that we continue to commit this kind of time and resources year after year shows just how meaningful it’s become to every member of our team.”
Precourt noted, “The benefit of a company that will take the time to do a summit means their minds are in the right place.”
He added, “They’re eager to be on the lookout for what might arise next, and that’s really encouraging to see. “Safety is not just important; it’s personal.”
The annual event is estimated to have a cost exceeding $850,000.
Jet Linx holds top level ARGUS Platinum Elite, IS-BAO Stage 3, and WYVERN Wingman PRO status.
