The Wingman PRO designation on the Sun Air Jets Part 135 certificate has been renewed by new owner FlyHouse, preserving a rating Sun Air Jets first achieved when the PRO tier launched in 2021.
FlyHouse has renewed its Wyvern Wingman PRO certified operator designation under its Sun Air Jets Part 135 certificate, reinforcing the company's longstanding commitment to safety, operational excellence and continuous improvement. The US business jet operator acquired Sun Air Jets, a southern California-based aircraft management and charter provider, at the end of 2025. Sun Air Jets was among the first Part 135 operators to receive Wyvern Wingman PRO certification when the designation was introduced in October 2021, having previously been the first operator to achieve Wyvern's Certified Flight Leader status.
Through its continued participation in the Wyvern Flight Leader Program, FlyHouse benefits from structured quarterly coaching and ongoing monitoring designed to strengthen its safety culture, enhance organisational performance and maintain the rigorous standards associated with Wingman PRO certification.
Wyvern Wingman PRO certification recognises operators that demonstrate a strong commitment to aviation safety and operational excellence. The certification evaluates an organisation's safety management system (SMS), human factors management, safety culture and internal audit processes to assess how effectively safety risks are identified, managed and addressed. Through this comprehensive evaluation, Wingman PRO reinforces the importance of continuous improvement, regulatory compliance and consistent application of established safety standards.
According to Al Mann, FlyHouse's chief safety officer: “Safety has been at the core of FlyHouse and Sun Air Jets since their respective beginnings. Continuing our Wingman PRO certification is a key aspect of maintaining an ongoing review of our safety processes and related programmes with a trusted partner. We are proud to partner with Wyvern as we build upon our commitment to safety.”
Sun Air Jets' renewed Wingman PRO certification underscores its continued focus on proactive safety management across its charter operations. By regularly assessing operational procedures, training programmes, risk management strategies and overall performance, the company works to identify areas for improvement and maintain the operational standards that support safe, consistent and reliable service. Sun Air Jets was founded in 2002 and, at the time of acquisition, held ARGUS Platinum, IS-BAO Stage 3 and Wyvern Wingman PRO ratings simultaneously, a combination its then-director of safety described as held by only four private jet companies out of some 2,000 charter operators.
FlyHouse closed the Sun Air Jets acquisition on 22 December 2025 and relocated its headquarters from Scottsdale, Arizona to Camarillo airport effective 1 January 2026.
“Maintaining Wyvern Wingman PRO certification reflects FlyHouse's continued dedication to strong safety leadership and responsible operations,” states Andrew Day, chief operating officer of Wyvern. “By incorporating proactive risk management and participating in the Wyvern Flight Leader Program, the organisation reinforces the value of ongoing evaluation and the continued development of its safety practices.”
