The ranks of the Wyvern Wingmen are set to increase with 26 new and returning charter operators taking safety audits during the months of September and October. It is now 20 years since the Trenton, N.J.-based safety consultancy established the Wyvern Standard and, thankfully, not one of the operators approved under this has suffered a fatal accident in this time.
For charter buyers needing a dependable vendor management tool, Wyvern has always been about more than knowing that an operator passed an audit on a one-off basis, according to managing director Brent Moldowan. “Post-audit an operator is required to keep up with particular reporting requirements,” he explained. “Operator, aircraft and crew background checks happen 24/7 in the Wyvern database. This ensures that The Wyvern Audit is valid through the term of the recommendation and that it is more than just a snapshot of what the audit team saw while they were on site with the charter operator.”
