FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (January 14, 2025) – Hop-A-Jet has once again earned designation as a WYVERN Wingman PRO Certified Operator, reaffirming its commitment to the highest standards of operational safety. Hop-A-Jet maintains its Wingman PRO status through active participation in the Flight Leader Program, supported by ongoing quarterly coaching from WYVERN.
The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the aviation industry’s first standard developed specifically to audit air charter operations, serves as a trusted safety benchmark. It enables charter customers to evaluate operator performance against recognized industry best practices, with a focus on risk management, operational discipline, and safety culture.
“It’s an honor for Hop-A-Jet to be part of WYVERN’s Wingman Pro and Flight Leader Program,” says Douglas Spanier, Hop-A-Jet’s Director of Safety. “WYVERN sets the benchmark for aviation safety and operational integrity, and these programs represent the gold standard in our industry. Our participation reflects our alignment with WYVERN’s rigorous standards and our respect for their leadership in advancing safety across business aviation.”
Wingman PRO represents one of the aviation industry’s highest standards for safety excellence. Certification is awarded only to operators that demonstrate exceptional performance across all elements of their safety management system (SMS), effectively manage human factors and organizational safety culture, and consistently comply with international standards through robust internal audit processes.
“Renewing Wingman PRO certification reflects Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter’s unwavering focus on safety and operational integrity, setting them apart in private aviation,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN’s Chief Operating Officer. “This signals to clients and partners that they consistently strive to meet rigorous industry standards.”
The designation highlights Hop-A-Jet’s proactive approach to safety management, including ongoing evaluation of operational procedures, pilot training, and risk mitigation strategies.
