Helidosa Aviation Group, a fixed and rotary wing operator based in the Dominican Republic, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in June of 2020. The Wyvern Wingman standard provides a safety benchmark that allows air charter customers to assess performance expectations against recognised industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.

Ops director Hector Jansen remarks: “Helidosa has become a synonym for prestige in national and international markets, obtaining a high brand recognition based on its record of excellence in customer service and high security measures supported by a safety management system, which we demonstrate by successfully achieving for a third time the certification as a Wyvern Wingman operator. We keep honouring our commitment by elevating standards and exceeding all expectations in service while ensuring the safety of our passengers and crew in every flight.”

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an evaluation of operational activities, review of 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.

“We are very happy to declare that Helidosa is a Wingman operator. Adhering to the Wingman standard is evidence that the organisation has a culture of excellence that is far above its peers,” concludes Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
