Flexjet, a private aviation company, has once again secured its WYVERN Wingman certification after a successful audit of its helicopter division conducted in November 2024.
The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the first air charter audit standard in the aviation industry, provides a safety benchmark that allows air charter customers to assess performance expectations against recognized industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.
Eli Flint, Flexjet president, Helicopter Division said: “At Flexjet, safety is a top priority and WYVERN’s decision to certify our helicopter operations once again confirms that.
“And as a safety leader in the private aviation industry, we are proud to hang the WYVERN certificate at our Stratford, CT helicopter headquarters.”
Wingman Operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review of the company operational history and safety records, Safety Management System (SMS), an internal evaluation program, administrative structure, technical manuals documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.
Andrew Day, WYVERN senior vice president, Operations says: “We congratulate Flexjet for renewing Wingman certification, which validates their effective safety management system and excellence in managing operations and aircraft maintenance.
“Wingman Operators stand out among their peers by allowing WYVERN to assess their conformity to best practices and continually monitor their information related to safety”.
