This recognition reflects more than a single milestone. It highlights the systems, training and day-to-day discipline that support Northern Jet's safety-first approach across every area of the operation.
Northern Jet has achieved Wyvern Wingman PRO certification. With this accolade, Wyvern acknowledges the US Part 135 operator's performance as an SMS Level 4 operator, the highest level of safety management system maturity by Wyvern. These milestones reflect the strength of Northern Jet's safety culture, operational discipline and ongoing commitment to excellence across all its flight operations.
Northern Jet earned Wyvern Wingman PRO certification through Wyvern's Flight Leader Program. Wingman PRO status represents an elevated level of operational validation and reflects sustained engagement in ongoing third-party safety oversight and performance review.
SMS Level 4 represents a mature stage of safety management system implementation in which all required SMS processes are in place and actively monitored. At this level, organisations focus on continuous oversight and ongoing refinement of operational and safety processes, supporting continuous improvement across the operation. Northern Jet's achievement reflects a fully integrated safety framework built to support proactive risk management and operational excellence.
“Safety is embedded in every aspect of how we operate,” notes said Chris Bull, chief executive officer of Northern Jet. “Achieving Wyvern Wingman PRO certification reflects our SMS Level 4 status, the discipline of our team and the consistency of our safety standards. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to delivering a private aviation experience defined by precision, accountability and care at every stage of flight.”
