West Star Aviation has earned certification as a Wyvern Wingman MRO, reflecting its commitment to safety and operational excellence. The St Louis Regional Airport (ALN) facility in East Alton, Illinois met Wyvern’s standards through an evaluation that included its safety management system, culture, risk management, emergency response and training.
“At West Star Aviation, our employees are the backbone of our safety culture,” says Stephen Maiden, CEO and accountable executive at West Star Aviation. “Their commitment to embracing our safety management system – ‘Safety 24/7’ – turns safety from a policy into a mindset. Thank you to Wyvern for recognising our efforts and helping us to continuously improve. Together, we're building a future where safety is truly lived 24/7.”
Wyvern’s Wingman MRO standard is recognised globally as a leading safety framework for maintenance providers. “By demonstrating outstanding leadership and a relentless focus on safety, West Star Aviation distinguishes itself within the MRO industry,” says Andrew Day, senior vice president, operations at Wyvern.
