Cove Aviation Partners renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Cove Aviation Partners LLC, an aircraft charter and management company headquartered in Van Nuys, California, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit, conducted by Wyvern in November 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.

"Cove Aviation, renowned for its boutique flight services, proudly embraces the 'Above Elite' motto in every aspect of our operations. Our focus is on delivering unparalleled, personalised aviation experiences, ensuring that every journey with our fleet of meticulously maintained aircraft isn't just a flight, but a statement of luxury and exclusivity. This ethos is the cornerstone of our brand, setting us apart in the world of elite aviation," says Tyler Burk, director of operations at Cove Aviation Partners.

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 applaud Cove Aviation Partners for once again demonstrating its compliance with the Wingman standard, which not only validates its safety management system for worldwide compliance, but also verifies its conformance to the highest global standards and industry professional codes of practice in operations and aircraft maintenance," says Andrew Day, Wyvern's senior vice president of operations.

Cove Aviation operates a G650ER based in a private hangar in Van Nuys, California and a Bell 429 helicopter based seasonally in Teterboro, New Jersey and East Hampton in New York.
