VistaJet's German AOC maintains Wyvern Wingman
Successfully completing the December 2025 Wyvern audit reflects the dedication of VistaJet's teams across the company, who consistently uphold the highest international standards in every aspect of operations.
VistaJet has a penchant for Bombardier products.

VistaJet has renewed its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in December 2025. Its continued commitment reflects the company's dedication to rigorous safety standards and operational efficiency at every level.

Mike Ulka, chief operating officer at VistaJet GmbH, the company's German AOC operation, says: “Renewing and once again earning the Wyvern Wingman certified operator designation is a meaningful validation of VistaJet GmbH's unwavering commitment to safety, operational excellence and transparency. Successfully completing the December 2025 Wyvern audit reflects the dedication of our teams across the company, who consistently uphold the highest international standards in every aspect of our operations. This recognition reinforces our promise to our members and partners to deliver the safest and most reliable global aviation experience possible.”

Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, a review of the company's operational history and safety records, a safety management system (SMS), an internal evaluation programme, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations, including technician training and experience.

“By renewing its Wyvern Wingman certification, VistaJet continues to demonstrate the leadership that defines its organisation and the Vista America family,” remarks Andrew Day, Wyvern COO. “Its sustained commitment to rigorous safety risk management remains a benchmark in the industry.”
