Wingman marks Chantilly as cream of the crop
Chantilly Air exemplifies a holistic approach to aviation safety, ensuring consistent application of rigorous standards across aircraft maintenance, ground handling and flight operations.
Washington Manassas is home to Chantilly.

Chantilly Air has achieved Wyvern Wingman MRO and Wingman FBO certification, reinforcing the Washington Manassas airport-based business aviation company's unwavering, organisation-wide commitment to safety across its maintenance, fixed base operations and flight operations. These achievements build upon Chantilly Air's recently attained Wingman PRO operator certification, completing a fully integrated safety culture that spans the entirety of its aviation operations.

With Wingman certification now spanning MRO, FBO and Wingman PRO for flight operations, Chantilly Air exemplifies a holistic approach to aviation safety, ensuring consistent application of rigorous standards across aircraft maintenance, ground handling and flight operations. This multi-domain achievement reflects a deeply embedded safety culture focused on proactive risk management, operational discipline and continuous improvement. For customers, it provides strong assurance that every aspect of Chantilly Air's service meets Wyvern's stringent safety and quality benchmarks.

“I could not be more proud of our entire team. Earning Wyvern Wingman MRO and Wingman FBO certification, alongside the Wingman PRO certification we already hold for our flight operation, completes a fully integrated safety culture that now spans every part of Chantilly Air, from the hangar to the ramp to the flight deck. This distinguished recognition is the direct result of the hard work and dedication our people bring every single day. It reflects the mission, vision and values that guide us. For us, operating at the highest level of safety isn't a milestone; it's a daily discipline. Peace of mind is our responsibility, and this achievement is our team's promise to deliver it,” notes Tim Sullivan, chief operating officer and accountable executive of Chantilly Air.

The Wyvern Wingman standard is globally recognised as a leading safety framework, enabling customers to evaluate aviation service providers against proven best practices. Chantilly Air's evaluation included an in-depth review of its safety management system, safety culture, risk management processes, emergency response planning and training programmes, underscoring its commitment to excellence and safety across all operational areas.

Chantilly Air's achievement of Wyvern Wingman MRO and Wingman FBO certification, building upon its existing Wingman PRO operator certification, demonstrates a comprehensive commitment to safety, quality and operational excellence across its maintenance, fixed base and flight operations,” adds Andrew Day, chief operating officer at Wyvern. “By embedding industry best practices throughout every aspect of its organisation, Chantilly Air has shown exceptional leadership and a deeply integrated safety culture. We are proud to recognise this accomplishment and its continued dedication to advancing safety in business aviation within the Wyvern Wingman community.”
