TULSA, Oklahoma (July 11, 2025) — United States Aviation Company 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.
“The safety of our crew, passengers, and the communities we fly in and out of every flight, is mission essential to our core values,” said Roger Hardesty, President of United States Aviation. “This program is consistent with the level of expectation we have for our international flight operations department. This renewal demonstrates our ability to maintain the highest level of charter safety in the world. Brokers and passengers trust us with repeat business because they know the quality they are going to receive from our team.”
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 recognize United States Aviation Company for renewing their Wingman certification, which affirms their compliance with international safety standards and global professional practices in operations and maintenance,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN Senior Vice President, Operations. “This renewal highlights their enduring dedication to delivering safe and exceptional aviation services.”
