Air Hamburg renews Wyvern Wingman certification

German charter operator Air Hamburg has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in September 2021. 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.

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an evaluation of operational activities, review on the company operational history and safety records, safety management system (SMS), internal evaluation programme, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.

Both Alexander Stevens, director of safety management, and Florian Knack, director of compliance monitoring management, stated, “We at Air Hamburg are proud to be able to renew our Wyvern Wingman status without any findings. It shows that even while rapidly growing our fleet we have never lost the focus on safety. As always it has been a pleasure working with Allison and her team, and we look forward to continue doing so in the future.”

“Wyvern celebrates Air Hamburg's achievement. Successful completion of the Wingman audit is proof that its leadership has identified safety as a core value and its team embraces excellence at all levels,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
