Wyvern welcomes Carlisle Air Group as new Wingman operator

U.S. aircraft management and charter company Carlisle Air Group has secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman operator through the Flight Leader Program with quarterly coaching by Wyvern. 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.

“Safety is Carlisle's top priority. It's more than just a rating; it's a commitment. Partnering with Wyvern reflects our dedication to the highest standards of safety and operational excellence, solidifying client trust, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and positioning us as a leader in the industry with unparalleled credibility,” says Clifford Russel, Carlisle Air Group president.

The Wyvern Wingman standard, which is globally recognised, provides a safety benchmark that allows customers to assess performance expectations against recognised industry best practices before purchasing services. The scope of the evaluation includes a review and assessment of the organisation's compliance management system, internal evaluation programme, safety management system, human factors management, safety culture analysis, risk management policies, procedures and practices, emergency response plans and training programmes.

“We are proud to announce that Carlisle Air Group is a Wingman operator. Conforming to the Wyvern Wingman standard is a testament to Carlisle Air Group's culture and commitment to safety. This accomplishment reflects the hard work, diligence and professionalism embedded in its daily operations,” says Andrew Day, Wyvern senior vice president, operations. “As a participant in the Flight Leader Program, Carlisle Air Group not only reinforces its dedication to safety and operational integrity, but also gains access to tailored coaching and best practices that drive continuous improvement and safety innovation.”
