What is AIRCO?

AIRCO stands for Association of Inflatable Rental Company Operators.  AIRCO was formed to:

·        promote safe and professional operation of inflatable rental companies

·        promote awareness in the general public of safe inflatable amusement procedures

·        to set minimum standards of operation in accordance with reasonable existing and future government-sanctioned regulations.

Why should I be concerned whether the inflatable company I’m considering doing business with is a member of AIRCO or not?

AIRCO’s guidelines are designed to ensure consistent quality of service from professionally operated companies.  These guidelines should insure that you receive clean and safe inflatables, that are properly set up, that are insured and that the customer receives instructions on the proper operation of the inflatable.

What benefits do I receive as a customer for hiring an AIRCO company?

• You will do business with a rental company that carries liability insurance for their business operations.

• The rental company must follow generally acceptable professional behavior. Customer service is a high priority including on-time delivery, clean equipment, pleasant service, and good communications with their customers.
• Safety is important!  You will get a  rental company that follows proper stake down procedures for their state or area, minimum requirement being at least 1-18" stake on each corner, driven in at an angle or 75 lbs of sand or comparable weight.
• You will receive inflatables that are commercial grade.  You will not find one of those inexpensive toy jumpers that are sold at department stores.
• You will receive written AIRCO operating instructions and emergency procedure checklist, prior to event to ensure proper training for unattended rentals. This training checklist affirmation is kept on file for two (2) years from the time of the event.  You will be asked to review and sign.
• A member must fill out the AIRCO Membership Survey each year to renew member status in good standing.
• All members must have some type of staff safety training in place.
• AIRCO does NOT promote or condone the practice of customer pick ups of inflatables.   
• Member companies that do not adhere to these guidelines may have their membership cancelled by AIRCO in insure consistency and quality for all customers.
