NASHUA, New Hampshire (November 6, 2026) When Choosing a Private Charter Operator, Safety Should Always Come First.
In light of recent high-profile private aviation accidents, WYVERN, private aviation’s leading safety firm, encourages consumers of private aviation charter services to make informed decisions when selecting an operator. While private aviation offers exceptional convenience, flexibility, and accessibility, not all charter operators maintain the same level of commitment to safety.
For more than 35 years, WYVERN has been dedicated to advancing aviation safety through independent assessments, rigorous standards, and a commitment to continuous improvement. At the forefront of this mission is the WYVERN Wingman Certification Program, widely recognized within the private aviation industry as a distinguished standard of safety excellence.
Wingman Certified operators undergo comprehensive evaluations conducted by experienced aviation safety professionals. These assessments examine critical elements of an operator’s safety management practices, operational procedures, organizational culture, and commitment to continuous improvement. Through recurring audits and ongoing oversight, the Wingman program promotes a sustained commitment to aviation safety that extends beyond minimum regulatory requirements.
The program’s historical safety record reflects this commitment. In more than 30 years of the Wingman program, there has never been a passenger fatality aboard a Wingman jet operated by a Wingman-qualified flight crew.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Before booking your next private charter flight, ask your aviation broker, charter agent, family office manager, or anyone responsible for arranging your travel one simple question:
“Am I flying on a Wingman?”
This one question can help you make a more informed decision about the operator entrusted with your safety and that of your passengers.
At WYVERN, aviation safety is more than our profession—it is our purpose. Our team of dedicated aviation safety professionals works every day to advance industry standards, strengthen safety cultures, and help make private aviation safer for everyone.
