HeliFlite Shares, a rotary operator with a presence in Kearny, New Jersey and Palm Beach, Florida, has again secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in November 2022. 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.

“At HeliFlite, we're excited to expand our fleet with some of the industry's top aircraft while remaining committed to our exceptional safety record and luxurious experience. Our clients consider us the ultimate time machine and at the pinnacle in safety, speed and luxury,” says HeliFlite CEO Kurt Carlson.

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