To simplify your audit process, you can download our audit tool. Simply select Purchase iAuditor Tool from the Accreditation drop down menu at the top of the page and follow the instructions. This tool makes yours audit much easier to complete, as well as share the results with company personnel and the auditor.
In addition to purchasing the IS-BAO and HAI-APS manuals, you will need to pay for on-site audit. To ensure our members receive the lowest possible prices, we have established a standard audit pricing guide. The auditors performing the IS-BAO and HAI-APS Audit will charge the operator directly for their time based on the size and complexity of your operation. The price guide will be used when charging an operator for audit expenses. The cost is inclusive of all manual reviews, coordination, and the audit itself. Auditor travel and per diem allowances shall follow US Government GSA (Domestic USA) and US Department of State (foreign) guidelines and will be added to the final invoice to the HAI Regular Operating Member.
HAI reserves the right to adjust the fee based on special circumstances and will justify any deviations from the schedule accordingly.
Our safety program was designed with all sized operations in mind. The performance-based model allows easy adaptation for both small and large scale operations.
Designed around safety, the HAI-APS follows a set of guidelines and procedures specific to your operation, so your clients and passengers know they’re in good hands.
It’s cheaper than an accident or losing business
