flyAdvanced joins elite group of Wyvern Wingman operators

flyAdvanced has secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator by maintaining Wingman status 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.

flyAdvanced provides a full range of services, including private aircraft management, charter flights, maintenance, FBO services, fractional ownership and flight training across the US mid-Atlantic region.

“Achieving SMS Level 2 certification shows that our internal safety management programme isn't just theoretical. It's functioning every day to support safer outcomes for our crews, our aircraft and our clients,” said Mike Devine, director of flight logistics at flyAdvanced. “It's an important benchmark that recognises the effort we've put into building a robust and transparent safety process.”

The globally recognised Wyvern Wingman standard 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.

“flyAdvanced has achieved Wingman certification, affirming its effective safety management and operational oversight,” says Andrew Day, Wyvern senior vice president, operations. “By participating in Wyvern's ongoing evaluation and monitoring programmes, Wingman operators uphold exceptional safety standards. This certification demonstrates flyAdvanced's dedication to operational excellence and client trust.”
