Orlando, Florida-headquartered Part 135 operator NXT Jet, dba Fly Alliance, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in December 2022. 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.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with Wyvern as a Wingman operator. Fly Alliance continues to grow our fleet and our team with a high focus on the highest level of standards,” says Alliance Aviation Group CEO Kevin M Wargo.

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

“Wyvern celebrates Fly Alliance's achievement. Successful completion of the Wingman audit is proof that its leadership has identified safety as a core value and their team embraces excellence at all levels,” says Wyvern CEO Sonnie Bates.
