Our motto: Zero Damage to People, Assets and the Environment
Our 0 accident policy is part of our AirHeed ® Safety Management System (SMS) and our prior motive, in order to complete competitive yet state-of-the-art missions in each of our core businesses.
Environment and Respect for Natural Habitat should be in our opinion a primary concern for every company involved in Tourism and Transportation industries.
Since Aerospace-related industries can be very consuming in natural resources, PhilJets strives to reduce ecological impact to its minimum level for our daily operations, while working proactively on developing new systems and processes to establish the most sustainable business framework in the industry.
Moreover, we cultivate strong bonds and the strong relationship with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), so that every time we fly, we remain as blue as the sky. As an air operator, we are resolute to appear as the safest and reliable actor in the industry. This is why we strictly and carefully adhere to the most rigorous CAAP guidelines and the firmest regulations & training procedures ongoing in the air-traffic control and airlines code of conduct.
Have a look at our AirHeed® SMS Program for more information on Safety Management Systems programs and guidelines.
Airheed - Philjets Aircraft Safety Management System (SMS)
We propose any company involved in aviation activities to help them with their SMS program. If you want to participate in an AirHeed® training session, please inquire here.
Aviation stakeholders (authorities, operators, MRO, ATO, etc.,) are now required by the ICAO to start a phased-approach SMS implementation by January 2009. PhilJets wants to go further, and proposes a full performance of its SMS Program since the early stage of its creation, called AirHeed®
What is a Safety Management System (SMS)?
It is a systematic approach to managing Safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies, and procedures.
PhilJets, as an Air Operator, Aircraft Materials Distributor and Aircraft Maintenance Organization is responsible for establishing its own SMS.
The CAAP (Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines) is responsible for the acceptance and oversight of PhilJets’ SMS, in accordance with both national and international standards.
The scope of an SMS encompasses most of the activities of the organization, from services to operations, asset management, engineering and Quality Assurance, environmental impact compliance and all Marketing & Sales activities.
An SMS is not dedicated solely to operational staff, and it should start
AirHeed® SMS Program not only acknowledges protection measures and the strictest security procedures, it also aims at making continuous improvement to the overall level of safety. PhilJets’ commitment to the protection of its passengers, employees, properties, and surroundings comes with a target to attain a higher standard for soundness and reliability.
