L.J. Aviation, a full
service aircraft management, charter and maintenance company based
at Latrobe, PA., has successfully achieved Wingman Certification
from Wyvern Ltd., which offers one of the most demanding air carrier
safety certifications in the air charter industry.
To be considered as a
Wingman Certified Operator, companies must actively demonstrate
their commitment to leading risk management practices and have a
strong safety culture. Operators are continuously monitored and must
maintain up-to-date company data and documentation on Wyvern’s
aviation intelligence platform. Wingman Certified Operators are
required to successfully complete onsite audits every two years
where flight operations, fleet maintenance, company business
practices, safety and quality management systems, and physical
aircraft inspections are evaluated against The Wingman Standard.
The Wingman Standard
was the first commercial audit safety standard in business aviation,
and is carefully revised by Wyvern’s advisory board as aviation
safety practices evolve. The audit is either pass or fail, and
certification is one of the most challenging and prestigious to
achieve and uphold.
“It is with
great enthusiasm we welcome L.J. Aviation to the global network of
Wyvern Certified Operators," said Wyvern CEO,
Art Dawley.
"By embracing The Wingman Standard L.J. Aviation has gone beyond
minimum regulatory requirements and become an industry leader in
safety culture. L.J. Aviation’s professionalism, commitment to
world-class service, uncompromising excellence and attention to
detail are a natural fit for the Wingman program and for providing
charter to our corporate and retail clients.”
“At L.J.
Aviation, creating a pleasant and memorable customer experience is
at the core of all we do. Being a Wingman Certified Operator affirms
industry credibility, and signifies our commitment to excellence”,
said Edward M. Kilkeary Jr.,
President of Operations at L.J. Aviation.
With their Wingman
Certification, Latrobe, PA-based L.J. Aviation now provides Wingman
Standard Pilot & Aircraft Safety Survey (PASS) trip due-diligence
reports on its global fleet of business jets as part of Wyvern’s
PASS program. L.J. Aviation operates over 20 light, medium, and
heavy jets for charter as well as a Bell 407 helicopter. The
company’s Wingman Standard PASS Reports and gap analyses measure
over 125 data points confirming audit status, aircraft, crew
qualifications, crew currency, and insurance to help charter buyers
make informed, risk-based decisions for every flight. |
