BOGOTA, Colombia (December 19, 2025) — HELISTAR has earned and renewed its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator following a successful audit conducted by WYVERN in November 2025. Their continued commitment reflects the company’s dedication to rigorous safety standards and operational efficiency at every level.
“HELISTAR is proud to achieve this renewal, which confirms compliance with the highest industry standards of reliability, safety, and commitment,” said Carlo Emmanuel Cabra Martinez, Helistar General Manager.
Wingman Operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, a review of the company’s operational history and safety records, a Safety Management System (SMS), an internal evaluation program, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations, including technician training and experience.
“Renewing their WYVERN Wingman Certification further cements HELISTAR’s leadership in the air charter industry,” said Andrew Day, WYVERN COO. “Their ongoing commitment to formal safety risk management continues to set them apart.”
