Wyvern announces new, renewing and 10-year Wingman operators

November 1, 2016:

Wyvern, the global leader in manned and unmanned safety, quality and risk management, is pleased to announce that the following air charter operators have successfully achieved its stringent Wingman Operator status in 2016:

- Aero Asahi Corporation, based in Tokyo, Japan

- Deer Jet (Beijing) Co., Ltd. based in Beijing, China

- International Jet Management GmbH, based in Schwechat, Austria

“Achieving Wingman status for the first time is an extraordinary achievement,” said Art Dawley, CEO of Wyvern. “These three operators are to be congratulated for their dedication to safety, quality and risk management, and for the daily commitment across their respective organizations to a just culture of safety.”

The Wingman certification by Wyvern is one of the most demanding air carrier safety achievements in the industry. To be considered as a Wingman, operators must have an immaculate record for a minimum of five years with the appropriate aviation authorities, actively show their commitment to leading safety practices, and have a strong safety culture. Operators must also provide consistently up-to-date, accurate safety data in the Wyvern online database and successfully pass an onsite audit every two years where flight, maintenance, and company business practices are evaluated against The Wingman Standard.

“It is especially satisfying to see three of the leading international operators, in Japan, China and Western Europe, exhibit the necessary characteristics to be designated as Wingman operators,” said John Meehan, COO of Wyvern. “Countries outside of the United States are recognizing the value of the Wingman certification, and these operators represent the cream of the crop. We are seeing great demand for the Wingman program in developed and emerging economies throughout the world.”

Additionally, Wyvern is pleased to announce that the following Wingman operators have renewed their Wingman status, having successfully completed the 24-month on-site assessment and maintained the appropriate data and documentation on an on-going basis:

- Hop-A-Jet Worldwide

- Zetta Jets USA

- FirstFlight

- ExecutJet Australia PTY Limited

- ExecutJet New Zealand Limited

- FlightWorks

- Florida Wings

- Global Aviation (Global Taxi Aereo)

- Helicopter Flight Services, Inc.

- Helistar S.A.S.

- JEM Air/Jem Aviation

- Jet Linx Aviation LLC

- New World Aviation, Inc.

- Presidential Aviation, Inc.

- STA Jets

- Landmark Aircraft Management & Charter (Sterling Aviation and TWC Aviation)

- Tavaero Jet Charter Corporation

- Tempus Jets, Inc.

“Renewing Wingman operators are our bread and butter,” said Dawley, “and the fact that they can maintain the Wingman status year after year truly demonstrates that safety is a culture at each of these excellent organizations. We are humbled by their total commitment to reducing risk to its lowest level.”

Dawley further highlighted that, “this year, we have three operators that have reached the 10-year mark in their Wingman histories. These operators have achieved a great milestone in making safety a priority as Wingman operators for 10 consecutive years. These are the type of operators that serve the top echelon of clientele as premium service providers.”

The 10-year Wingman Operators are as follows:

- Hop-A-Jet in Fort Lauderdale, FL;

- Corporate Air in Pittsburgh, PA; and,

- FlightWorks in Atlanta, GA.

Consumers of private air charter services and the top air charter brokers rely on the Wyvern Wingman designation to identify operators worldwide that are fully committed to safety, quality and risk management. When passengers fly with a Wingman operator, they know that the operator goes well above and beyond the regulatory requirements in managing risk.
