Best Jets International renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Minnesotan business jet charter and management company Midwest Aero Club LLC dba Best Jets International has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in September 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.

“Renewing our Wingman certification is the result of our commitment and persistent focus on maintaining the highest safety standards at Best Jets. Maintaining the Wingman Standard for the last 10 years demonstrates the dedication, excellence and professionalism our team exhibits year after year,” says Brandon Grell, safety manager at Best Jets International.

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 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 Best Jets International'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.
