Sky Partners has again secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to the highest standards of operational safety. The Californian aircraft charter and management company upholds this status through consistent engagement in the Flight Leader Program, supported by regular quarterly coaching from Wyvern.

“Achieving Wyvern Wingman certification year after year reflects the discipline, transparency and safety-first culture embedded across every level of Sky Partners,” says Craig Miller, Sky Partners CEO and president. “Our continued participation in the Flight Leader Program and engagement with Wyvern's quarterly coaching ensures that we are not only meeting the highest industry standards, but consistently raising the bar for ourselves and for the clients who trust us. Safety is not a milestone for us; it is a continuous commitment, and this recognition reinforces our dedication to delivering our widely recognised world-class service with uncompromising operational integrity.”

The globally recognised Wyvern Wingman standard provides a safety benchmark that allows customers to assess an operator's safety performance against the industry's highest standard when selecting charter services. The scope of the evaluation includes a review and assessment of the organisation's compliance management system, internal evaluation programme, safety management system, human factors management, safety culture analysis, risk management policies, procedures and practices, emergency response plans and training programmes. Through the Wyvern Flight Leader Program, participating operators also receive complimentary access to Wyvern's integrated SMS software, which includes capabilities such as ASAP reporting, FOQA integration, CASS tracking, FRAT, FRMS and other data-driven tools designed to strengthen proactive risk identification and operational oversight.

As part of the Wingman commitment, operators share detailed safety management system and emergency response plan information directly with Wyvern, demonstrating a proactive willingness to provide insight into their safety framework, risk controls and response capabilities. By voluntarily opening their programmes to independent review, Wingman operators affirm their dedication to accountability and continuous improvement. Additionally, Wingman members, including Sky Partners, are eligible for a complimentary annual safety culture analysis, a comprehensive SMS evaluation and participation in Wyvern's world-class safety leader training course, further reinforcing their commitment to safety leadership and operational excellence..

“By renewing its Wyvern Wingman certification through the Flight Leader Program, Sky Partners demonstrates an unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence,” surmises Andrew Day, Wyvern chief operating officer. “Its consistent professionalism and discipline exemplify the benchmark for top operators in the aviation industry.”
