Qatar Executive renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Qatar Executive, the private jet charter division of the Qatar Airways Group, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in March 2023. 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.

A spokesperson for Qatar Executive stated “We are once again delighted and proud to have met the exceptional aviation standards set out by Wyvern Wingman. This is an internationally recognised safety standard, which aligns directly with the vision of our group CEO H.E. Mr. Akbar Al Baker and truly solidifies our commitment to the safety and comfort of our customers worldwide. Our team work diligently all year round to ensure we are operating to the highest of standards, and to be recognised for this is absolutely welcomed.”

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.

“We are proud to announce that Qatar Executive is a Wingman operator. Conforming to the Wyvern Wingman Standard is a testament to an organisation's culture and commitment to safety,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
