Global Air Charters Secures NASA Airworthiness Recertification Through 2027

Global Air Charters has achieved recertification for NASA mission operations following a comprehensive inspection by NASA Johnson Space Center's Flight Operations Directorate. The certification authorizes the company to execute contracted NASA missions through May 31, 2027, confirming compliance with the stringent requirements outlined in NASA Standard 7919.1 for aircraft operations supporting space agency missions.

The airworthiness notice represents a significant validation of Global Air Charters' operational capabilities and safety protocols. According to CEO Michael Vanacore-Netz, "This recertification represents a significant achievement for our team and reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aviation excellence. We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with NASA and to support their critical missions."

The certification mandates that Global Air Charters utilize only aircrews meeting NASA's Primary Aircrew Qualification and Requirements across multiple operational categories. This ensures all personnel involved in NASA operations maintain the highest levels of training and expertise, reflecting the company's dedication to safety and operational precision.

NASA officials Robert T. Hines, Acting Chief of the Aircraft Operations Division, and Aldora M. Louw, Division Associate Chief, formally signed the official notice confirming GAC's airworthiness status. The recertification process involved rigorous evaluation of the company's operational procedures, maintenance standards, and crew qualifications.

This development is crucial for maintaining continuity in NASA's mission support capabilities, as Global Air Charters provides specialized aviation services that meet the exacting standards required for space agency operations. The company's ability to maintain this certification through 2027 ensures reliable support for NASA's ongoing mission requirements without operational interruptions.

The recertification underscores the aviation industry's critical role in supporting government space programs and highlights the importance of maintaining stringent safety and operational standards. For more information about the company's services, visit GlobalAirCharters.com.
