GainJet renews Wyvern Wingman certification
Another audit, another renewal. GainJet has once more secured its Wyvern Wingman certified operator designation.
GainJet has renewed its Wingman certification.

Athens, Greece-headquartered GainJet Aviation has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in November 2021. 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.

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

GainJet Aviation's certification as a Wyvern Wingman operator sets it apart from other operators in the air charter industry," says CEO Sonnie Bates. "This achievement validates its commitment to attaining and maintaining an enduring safety culture that elevates its performance above other operators who are just beginning to embrace the value of formal safety risk management.”
