PRESS RELEASE: TORONTO, ONTARIO
AirSprint has successfully maintained its designation as a WYVERN WINGMAN PRO Certified Operator, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the highest standards of operational safety. This achievement is supported through active participation in the WYVERN Flight Leader Program, with ongoing quarterly monitoring and coaching helping to sustain the rigorous standards required for WINGMAN PRO status.
The WYVERN WINGMAN Standard, the aviation industry’s first standard developed specifically to audit air charter operations, serves as a trusted safety benchmark. It enables charter customers to evaluate operator performance against recognized industry best practices, with a focus on risk management, operational discipline, and safety culture.
"We're proud to have renewed our WYVERN WINGMAN PRO status. It's a great reflection of the commitment our team brings to safety every single day and the high standards we set for ourselves across the organization. This designation isn't something you earn once and move on from. It takes an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, accountability, and strong operating practices. Our participation in WYVERN's Flight Leader Program plays an important role in that process. Working with a dedicated Flight Leader coach gives us valuable guidance and an outside perspective that helps us continue to strengthen our safety program,” said Chris Foley, Vice President of Operations at AirSprint. “This achievement belongs to our entire team. From our pilots and Maintenance team to Training, Operations Control, and Owner Services, everyone has a hand in delivering the safe, reliable experience our Fractional Owners expect. We're proud to have renewed our WINGMAN PRO status and will continue looking for ways to make an already strong operation even better."
WINGMAN PRO represents one of the aviation industry’s highest standards for safety excellence. Certification is awarded only to operators that demonstrate exceptional performance across all elements of their safety management system (SMS), effectively manage human factors and organizational safety culture, and consistently comply with international standards through robust internal audit processes.
"AirSprint has continued to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence, consistently raising the bar for business aviation," said Andrew Day, Chief Operating Officer of WYVERN. "The renewal of their WYVERN WINGMAN PRO Certification is a testament to the organization's disciplined approach to safety management, strong leadership, and dedication to continuous improvement. Through its active participation in the WYVERN Flight Leader Program, AirSprint has embraced opportunities to strengthen its safety culture, leverage industry best practices, and further enhance operational performance. This accomplishment reflects AirSprint's commitment to delivering the highest standards of safety and reliability, providing its Fractional Owners with the confidence that every flight is supported by a world-class safety program."
Achieving WINGMAN PRO highlights AirSprint’s proactive approach to safety management, including ongoing evaluation of operational procedures, training, and risk mitigation strategies. By integrating predictive safety practices and fostering a culture where every team member actively contributes to safety, AirSprint ensures the highest level of reliability and confidence for clients, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in private aviation.
