AAG meets Wingman standard for 22nd time
AAG operates the largest fleet of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters in the northeast US and is a wholly-owned Sikorsky subsidiary. Meeting the Wyvern Wingman standard once more confirms that its safety processes are robust.
AAG is a top US Sikorsky operator.

Associated Aircraft Group (AAG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sikorsky, has renewed its Wyvern Wingman certification for the 22nd year in a row. Wyvern is a recognised leader in aviation safety risk management. The Wingman Standard is an audit to rigorously vet air charter operators, and is a requirement for many consumers of the business aviation industry.

“We are proud to once again receive the Wyvern Wingman certification and continue to be listed on the exclusive Wingman certified operator programme directory, showing our commitment to the highest safety and operational audit standards,” says president John Gow.

AAG operates the largest fleet of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters in the northeast US, and is regarded as a successful business aviation services company that has built a leading position on the principles of customer service, safety and trust. A fully implemented SMS helps to ensure that AAG operates to the highest standards of aviation safety.
