Acropolis Aviation, the VVIP charter operator,
based at Farnborough Airport, had cause for celebration during NBAA-BACE in Las
Vegas this month when its prestigious Wyvern Wingman accreditation was formally
renewed. The award follows its fourth successful audit.
Wyvern Wingman Certification is a prestigious
benchmark for aviation safety, reflecting a commitment to best practice and the
highest level of safety and protocol. Acropolis Aviation has held Wingman status
since 2011.
Accepting the certificate from
James Nicoletti,
Audit Operations Manager, Wyvern Consulting,
Paul Travis,
Acropolis Aviation’s Ground Operations Manager said, “Retaining Wyvern status is
hugely important for our business. The accreditation is recognised by our valued
charter brokers - on both sides of the Atlantic - where our flagship Airbus
ACJ319 G-NOAH flies back and forth.”
“Being able to consistently meet the Wyvern
standard is testament to an organization’s commitment to safety. Congratulations
to Acropolis Aviation on passing their fourth Wingman audit. Acropolis’
continued commitment to safety keeps them at the forefront as a leader in safety
culture,” James Nicoletti said.
To
achieve Wingman status, operators must have an
immaculate record for a minimum of five years with the
appropriate aviation authorities, actively show
commitment to leading safety practices and maintain a
strong safety culture. |
