MANASSAS, Virginia (May 5, 2026) – Chantilly Air has earned the designation of WYVERN Wingman PRO Certified Operator, reflecting its steadfast commitment to the highest standards of operational safety. This achievement was attained through active participation in the WYVERN Flight Leader Program, with ongoing quarterly monitoring and coaching playing a key role in supporting and sustaining that progress.
The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the aviation industry’s first standard developed specifically to audit air charter operations, serves as a trusted safety benchmark.
Tim Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer and Accountable Executive of Chantilly Air, stated, "Achieving WYVERN Flight Leader PRO Status is a meaningful validation of the systems, discipline, and safety culture our team applies every day. This recognition reflects our commitment to continuous improvement through independent oversight, data‑driven risk management, and accountable leadership, rather than reliance on one‑time audits. I am proud of the professionalism demonstrated across our operation to meet these rigorous benchmarks.”
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.
"Elevating to Wingman PRO certification is a testament to Chantilly Air's continued dedication to raising the bar in aviation safety and operational excellence," says Andrew Day, Chief Operating Officer at WYVERN. "This progression reflects their ongoing commitment to going above and beyond regulatory requirements, and we are proud to recognize this achievement within the WYVERN community."
