Helidosa Aviation Group, S.A., a fixed and rotary wing operator headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit, conducted by Wyvern in September 2022. 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 recognised industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.

“Helidosa Aviation Group is proud and honoured to have successfully achieved the Wyvern standards, reassuring our customers our commitment to provide a service that complies with the highest safety and quality standards. We are committed to maintaining and improving the Wingman standard, through proactive actions that will continue to empower and develop the safety culture in our organisation,” says Gonzalo Alexander Castillo, Helidosa Aviation Group CEO.

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review on the company's operational history and safety records, safety management system (SMS), internal evaluation programme, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.

“Wyvern celebrates Helidosa's achievement. Successful completion of the Wingman audit is proof that its leadership has identified safety as a core value and its team embraces excellence at all levels,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
