Farnborough airport-based Acropolis Aviation has celebrated the renewal of its Wyvern Wingman status, which it has held since 2011.

“We are delighted to be recognised with this top industry award once again,” says vice president for the US and Latin America Kuky Salazar. “It is globally renowned as the sector's benchmark for aviation safety and especially timely as we prepare for the arrival of our brand new Airbus ACJ320neo, eagerly awaited by our US-based clients. Wyvern Wingman certification is synonymous with adhering to industry best practices and the highest level of safety and protocols.”

Wyvern CEO Sonny Bates adds: “Congratulations to Acropolis Aviation for successfully passing their fifth Wyvern audit. Consistently achieving this benchmark is a solid endorsement of an organisation's commitment to safety. Such dedication firmly positions Acropolis as an industry leader in safety culture.”

To qualify for Wingman status, operators must successfully pass an onsite audit every two years, where flight, maintenance, and company business practices are evaluated against The Wingman Standard.

Acropolis is awaiting delivery of its new Airbus ACJ320neo, which is due to enter revenue services by the end of the year. The aircraft is currently completing its cabin outfitting at AMAC Aerospace in Basel, Switzerland. The company has also recently bolstered its management team with the addition of Mark Bird, formerly with Air Tanker, as ground operations manager.
