Bogota, Colombia – HELISTAR S.A.S. has once more secured its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator following a successful Audit, conducted by WYVERN in November 2023. 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.
HELISTAR S.A.S. appreciates this certification and the audit team’s recognition of the high safety and quality standards in its processes. For HELISTAR S.A.S., it is a source of pride to maintain this certification that strengthens the good will of our company and allows us to be a leader and reference in the aeronautical sector, says Emmanuel Cabra Martinez, General Manager of HELISTAR S.A.S.
Wingman Operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review on the company operational history and safety records, Safety Management System (SMS), internal evaluation program, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.
“We congratulate HELISTAR S.A.S. for demonstrating excellence by renewing their WYVERN Wingman certification, which validates their effective safety management system and excellence in managing operations and aircraft maintenance. Wingman Operators stand out from their peers by setting the bar for private aviation safety,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN’s Senior Vice President, Operations.
