JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania (February 12, 2025) – SkyWest Charter has earned WYVERN Wingman Operator designation through the innovative and progressive Flight Leader Program with quarterly coaching by WYVERN. The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the first air charter audit standard in the aviation industry, provides a safety benchmark that allows air charter customers to assess performance expectations against recognized industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.
“SWC is proud to be recognized by WYVERN for the work we are doing to ensure the highest standards of safety and operations within the Part 135 industry,” said Trenton Moss, SWC Director. “Utilizing a Safety Management System (SMS), top training for our employees, active flight dispatching, and more allows us to provide our clients with a superior flight experience.”
