ACI Jet maintains Wingman through Flight Leader scheme
Quarterly coaching and system evaluations sustained ACI Jet's safety credentials, which reflected ongoing alignment with Wyvern's rigorous operational benchmarks.
Wyvern credited ACI Jet’s renewal to its maintenance excellence and robust safety systems.

South Californian Part 135 operator ACI Jet has retained its Wyvern Wingman certification through continued participation in the Flight Leader Program and quarterly coaching sessions with Wyvern.

The Wingman standard sets a safety benchmark for charter clients to gauge operator performance prior to booking services. Audits include reviews of safety management systems, risk procedures, compliance practices and internal training.

“We're proud to partner with Wyvern and remain focused on continuous improvement through the Flight Leader Program,” says ACI Jet vice president of flight operations Sean McDonald. “Renewing our Wyvern Wingman certification reflects ACI Jet's continued commitment to the highest standards of safety and operational excellence.”

Wyvern senior vice president of operations Andrew Day says: “We extend our congratulations to ACI Jet for renewing Wingman certification, a distinction that underscores its exceptional safety management system and dedication to operational and maintenance excellence. Wingman operators set themselves apart by embracing Wyvern's rigorous assessments and ongoing safety monitoring, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to industry-leading practices.”
