Sep 8, 2010 12:33 PM

Jet Aviation Flight Services, Inc., the group’s charter and aircraft management company for the Americas, recently passed Wyvern’s rigorous auditing standards for air safety and received the designation “Wyvern Recommended.”

Wyvern audited all aspects of the company’s air charter operations including company background, safety record, incidents, Safety Management System (SMS), company manuals, security and crew records. Individuals from all levels of the operation were also interviewed at the time of the audit. Following the completion of the onsite evaluation, any deficiencies found in the manuals required remediation within a short time frame to comply with Wyvern’s standards. Once Jet Aviation Flight Services, Inc. was “recommended,” information on the company was included in the Wyvern Report, an online service for potential clients.

This designation is a safety evaluation that scrutinizes Part 135 charter operators in all areas of its operations. Because of the strict safety policies, “Wyvern Recommended” air carriers are the vendor’s choice for many clients and brokers worldwide.
