VIENNA, Austria (June 25, 2025) — Avcon Jet has earned and renewed its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator following a successful audit, conducted by WYVERN in April 2025. 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 recognized industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.
“Our mission is to go above and beyond—especially when it comes to safety, operational discipline, and crew performance,” says Michael Makarius, CEO, Avcon Jet. “The renewal of our WYVERN Wingman certification is a proud moment for us and a clear recognition of our commitment to the highest safety standards in business aviation. We are honoured to remain part of an elite group of operators acknowledged by Wyvern for their dedication to excellence.”
“The Wingman Certification, issued by WYVERN, is one of the most respected safety designations in our industry,” says Christian Hrauda, Accountable Manager, Avcon Jet. “We greatly appreciate WYVERN’s rigorous audit process and the professionalism behind it. This renewal confirms that our safety culture is not just embedded—it’s consistently demonstrated in everything we do.”
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.
“We proudly congratulate Avcon Jet on their Wingman certification renewal, which showcases their exceptional safety management system and high standards in operations and aircraft maintenance,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN Senior Vice President, Operations. “By upholding WYVERN’s best practices and allowing continuous safety monitoring, Avcon Jet reaffirms their pledge to make safety a core value of their operation.”
