FlyExclusive has renewed its top-level safety status with Wyvern Ltd.

The North Carolina-based fractional and jet card operator holds a Wyvern Wingman Flight Leader rating.

The Wingman Standard is based on ICAO standards for commercial air transport, Safety Management International Collaboration Group’s (SMICG) standards for SMS, and industry best practices that are common amongst the leading operators around the world.

FlyExclusive COO Matthew Lesmeister says, “Safety isn’t just a priority, it’s the backbone of every procedure, process, and policy across our enterprise.”

Lesmeister adds, “We are proud to be one of the few Part 135 operators with the Wyvern Wingman distinction.”

He said the certification recognizes the “quality, compliance, and safety teams for their continued work in building best practices for safety across the company.”
