Thrive Aviation Elevates to WYVERN Wingman PRO!

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WYVERN is proud to announce that Thrive Aviation has earned and been awarded WYVERN Wingman PRO certification after achieving excellence in association with ongoing participation in WYVERN’s Flight Leader Program (FLP).

Wingman PRO validates organizational safety culture utilizing the most advanced safety culture evaluation tools recognized by safety experts and regulatory bodies worldwide. A safety benchmark set above WYVERN’s flagship Wingman program, Wingman PRO is THE aviation industry’s highest safety standard.

This comes off the heels of Thrive Aviation accomplishing ARG/US Platinum Elite in June, the highest tier of safety certification awarded by ARGUS International. Having both ARG/US Platinum Elite and Wyvern Wingman Pro places Thrive Aviation among an elite group of aviation operators, as only two other operators globally have achieved both safety certifications.

“We are incredibly proud to have achieved the WYVERN Wingman Pro Certification through the WYVERN Flight Leader Program,” said Rickey Oswald, Chief Operating Officer of Thrive Aviation. “We are proud to offer our clients and aircraft owners a system of operations built on prestige and operational excellence. Owners and clients alike can have complete confidence in our ability to provide safe, reliable, and exceptional aviation services. At Thrive Aviation, Safety is a key foundational value, and this certification is a testament to our dedicated and relentless efforts toward the safest operations.”

WYVERN Wingman PRO is issued when an already established Wingman operator demonstrates effectiveness in all areas of SMS, excellence in addressing Human Factors and Organizational Safety Culture, and continuous conformity to international standards by an internal audit program.

“We congratulate Thrive Aviation for attaining Wingman PRO certification, by demonstrating their effective safety management system and excellence in managing operations and aircraft maintenance. Wingman PRO Operators stand out from their peers and allow WYVERN to assess their conformity to best practices and continually monitor their information related to safety,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN’s Senior Vice President, Operations.
