Planet Nine recently received Wyvern's new Wingman Pro certification, the highest safety standard accolade for a Part 135 operator from the business aviation industry safety audit provider.

The new Wingman Pro certification verifies an operator's safety culture using advanced tools recognised by safety experts and regulatory agencies. Pro is an enhanced Wingman certification, demonstrating that Planet Nine has excelled in all areas of safety management systems; has shown excellence in addressing human factors and organisational safety culture, and exhibits continuous conformity to international standards through an internal audit programme.

Congratulating Planet Nine on its new status Wyvern CEO Sonnie Bates comments: “The award of new Wingman Pro validates Planet Nine's commitment to attaining and maintaining an enduring safety culture.”

“We are delighted to be one of the first Part 135 operators to attain Wyvern Wingman Pro certification,” adds co-founder Matt Walter. “The Wingman Pro rating is the culmination of several years' hard work by the entire Planet Nine family. Since our inception, we've invested significant resources into hiring the best employees, building an elite leadership team and implementing state-of-the-art safety management tools. This has facilitated a strong safety culture, which has been instrumental for process improvement, providing valuable safety insights and reducing organisational risk. I am incredibly proud of our team. We look forward to a long partnership with Wyvern as we continue to grow and cultivate our SMS.”
