Vista Global's Talon Air renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Talon Air has renewed its Wyvern Wingman Certified Operator status.

The renewal comes through Wyvern’s Flight Leader Program.

The Flight Leader Program moves from traditional audits to quarterly coaching sessions.

Talon Air is part of the Vista Global family of brands, which also includes VistaJet and XO.

Talon Air CEO James Chitty said, “Since our initial partnership with Wyvern, we have been steadfast in our commitment to elevate safety in our industry.”

He continued, “Now, as we renew our wingman status, we are excited to usher in a new standard of safety in private aviation and in transparency to the private aviation consumer.”

Director of Safety Timothy Martins added, “This achievement reflects our team’s hard work and commitment to providing the safest and most reliable service to our clients.”

Wyvern’s Andrew Day says, “This accomplishment reaffirms their unwavering dedication to fostering a robust and enduring safety culture, elevating their operational standards well above those of operators still in the early stages of adopting formal safety risk management practices.”

Talon Air’s fleet comprises 30 mid-size and large-cabin private jets.

It also holds certifications as Argus Platinum and IS-BAO Stage 3.

Vista Global operators, including Talon Air, ranked third in U.S. charter and fractional flight hours in 2024.
