Wyvern is an independent aviation audit firm owned by CharterX. The Wyvern standard puts forth very stringent audit, qualification, and industry best practice standards that require an air carrier’s continuous focus and dedication. Fair Wind has attained the Wyvern recommendation testifying to our comittment to safety. Wyvern status is renewed every 24 months by completion of a 2-day audit by professional and experienced aviation industry auditors.
The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has developed the International Standard – Business Aircraft Operators (IS-BAO). This standard has been recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) safety management system requirement. Although not yet required within the United States, any aircraft flying in ICAO territories is now required to maintain an active Safety Management System (SMS). Completion of the IS-BAO audit and registration process is a demanding and daunting task requiring dedication and a sincere comittment to building a corporate structure that promulgates a solid safety effort. Fair Wind completed the IS-BAO registration process in October 2010.
From the several thousand on-demand air carriers in the United States, Fair Wind Air Charter has successfully obtained ARG/US Platinum Status, as well as the recommendation of Wyvern, Ltd., in addition to the IS-BAO registration.
Last, and certainly not least, we are also audited by NetJets, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, through their subsidiary Executive Jet Management. We are a recognized and approved vendor for the NetJets fractional ownership provider.
