Dumont Jets renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Wilimington, Delaware Part 135 Dumont Jets has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in May 2022. 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.

“Achieving and maintaining Wyvern Wingman status is a direct reflection of our commitment to safety at Dumont. Safety has been the foundation of our organisation from the start, and we remain dedicated to advancing our safety standards to ensure the safety of our clients and crew members,” says Ashley Welch, accountable executive at Dumont Jets.

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 is very happy to declare that Dumont Jets is a Wingman operator. Adhering to the Wingman standard is evidence that the organisation has a culture of excellence that is far above its peers,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
