Meridian FBO’s Are Safety 1st Clean Certified

Meridian has earned Safety 1st Clean registration from the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) for both its Teterboro (KTEB) and Hayward (KHWD) FBO facilities. Meridian follows best practices and guidelines from both NATA and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) around cleaning, disinfecting and hygiene, as well as ongoing education and training. Meridian has been a participant in NATA’s overall Safety 1st program for over 20 years.

Conformance to the Safety 1st Clean standard also requires a Hazard Communication Plan, which Meridian already has as part of its IS-BAH accreditation. Meridian TEB and HWD hold IS-BAH Stage 1 certification for adherence to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices in the preparation of handling business aircraft. The standard was designed to promote the use of industry best practices blended through a progressive Safety Management System (SMS) for FBOs and Business Aircraft Handling Agencies.

Customers with maintenance or detailing needs can expect the same level of safety and cleanliness at the Meridian Jet Center in Teterboro. The full-service maintenance facility is an FAA Part 145 and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certified repair station, as well as an authorized Honeywell Service Center.

Meridian’s in-house detailing team currently provides multiple layers of disinfecting and cleaning services to protect travelers as well as our own personnel. In addition to decontaminating the aircraft with an ionization unit, they also clean the entire aircraft interior by wiping down and disinfecting all areas, followed by a long-lasting anti-microbial barrier treatment.
