London Air Services renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Canadian operator London Air Services has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in November 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 recognised industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.

“Receiving the Wyvern Wingman certification for our 13th consecutive year is a great testament to the team at London Air Services and their commitment to continuously enhancing safety,” said London Air Service president and COO, Dylan Thomas. “Wyvern Wingman certification requires compliance with rigorous standards, which is why we're only one of two air charter operators in Canada that have achieved this certification.”

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review on the company's 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.

“Wyvern celebrates London Air Service'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.

London Air Services maintains a fleet of Bombardier Learjet 75s, a Challenger 605, a Global 6000 and AgustaWestland 139 helicopters. It operates globally and offers a complete suite of aircraft management services. Based in Richmond, British Columbia, , London Air proudly holds Wyvern Wingman and IS-BAO certification.
