Northern Jet achieved Wyvern Wingman PRO certification through Wyvern's Flight Leader Program. With this accolade, Wyvern acknowledges Northern Jet's performance as an SMS Level 4 operator, the highest level of Safety Management System maturity by Wyvern. This reflect the strength of Northern Jet's safety culture, operational discipline, and ongoing commitment to excellence across all flight operations. Wingman PRO status represents an elevated level of operational validation and reflects sustained engagement in ongoing third-party safety oversight and performance review.

SMS Level 4 represents a mature stage of Safety Management System implementation in which all required SMS processes are in place and actively monitored. At this level, organizations focus on continuous oversight and ongoing refinement of operational and safety processes, supporting continuous improvement across the operation. Northern Jet's achievement reflects a fully integrated safety framework built to support proactive risk management and operational excellence.

Chris Bull, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Jet commented: "Safety is embedded in every aspect of how we operate. Achieving Wyvern Wingman PRO certification reflects our SMS Level 4 status, the discipline of our team, and the consistency of our safety standards. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to delivering a private aviation experience defined by precision, accountability, and care at every stage of flight."

Tim Reeve, Director of Safety at Northern Jet stated: "Wingman PRO designation is the culmination of a lot of work throughout the company. We're honored by this recognition, but we know safety isn't a destination, it's a daily practice. Every milestone reminds us to stay vigilant and keep moving forward, one improvement at a time."

This recognition reflects more than a single milestone. It highlights the systems, training, and day-to-day discipline that support Northern Jet's safety-first approach across every area of the operation. From leadership to flight crews and operational teams, safety remains a shared responsibility and a core part of the company's culture. Wyvern Wingman Certification and Wingman PRO status are recognized across the private aviation industry as leading benchmarks for safety performance, SMS maturity, and independent operational validation.

For Northern Jet, these recognitions further reinforce a company-wide commitment to safety, continuous improvement, and disciplined operational excellence. As the company continues serving clients across its Orlando, Naples, and Grand Rapids bases, Northern Jet remains focused on delivering a private aviation experience built on trust, accountability, and care.
