TETERBORO, NJ   June 2, 2010 – Meridian Air Charter, a private aviation services company proudly announces it has been awarded an ARG/US Platinum rating.  

“This upgraded platinum rating now gives us the industry recognition we consistently and diligently work for and deserve,” said Heather DeRegis, Meridian Flight Operations Manager, “A lot of time, effort and team work has gone into making Meridian – the line by which all others are measured!”
