Prince Aviation has earned the prestigious Wyvern Wingman PRO certification, reaffirming the Serbian business jet operator's unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence through continued participation in Wyvern's Flight Leader Program (FLP). Wingman PRO validates organisational safety culture utilising the most advanced safety culture evaluation tools recognised by safety experts and regulatory bodies worldwide. A safety benchmark set above Wyvern's flagship Wingman programme, Wingman PRO is the aviation industry's highest safety standard.

Milica Djurdjevic, Prince Aviation's safety, compliance and security manager, says that this is the company’s second Wingman PRO certificate and the most comprehensive and important to date: “We received the Wyvern Level 4 SMS certificate almost three years ago, then we were certified under the Wingman PRO certificate, which we have now successfully renewed. We are proud to be the first ones in Europe to receive it.

“The Wingman PRO certificate proves that our company exceeds standard requirements by operating its safety management system not just correctively, but preventively and predictively,” Djurdjevic continues. “We anticipate safety risks, set standards beyond legal minimums, innovate while maintaining compliance and prioritise rigorous training for pilots and technical staff. Most importantly, we cultivate a company-wide safety culture where every employee is aligned toward our paramount goal: safety.”

Wyvern Wingman PRO is awarded to operators who demonstrate effectiveness in all areas of SMS, excel in addressing human factors and organisational safety culture, and maintain continuous conformity to international standards through an internal audit programme.

“We congratulate Prince Aviation on renewing its Wingman PRO certification; a clear demonstration of its commitment to safety, operational excellence and proactive aircraft maintenance,” says Andrew Day, senior vice president of operations at Wyvern. “Wingman PRO operators distinguish themselves by embracing third-party validation through Wyvern's rigorous assessment process and ongoing safety monitoring.”
