Desert Jet Earns Top Safety Distinction With WYVERN Wingman Pro Certification and Argus Platinum Rating

Desert Jet, the leading full-service business aviation company located in Greater Palm Springs, California, is thrilled to announce its recent accomplishment of two of the aviation industry's most challenging safety audits - WYVERN Wingman PRO certification and ARGUS Platinum rating. This achievement further solidifies the company's status as a prominent player in the private aviation industry and showcases its commitment to providing the highest level of safety and service to its clients.

“Desert Jet is fully committed to embracing all available safety tools, including the 3rd party auditing services that assist in sharpening our approach to operating safely every single day,” stated Jared Fox, Desert Jet’s Chief Executive Officer. “We take our responsibility to our clients, our employees, and their loved ones very seriously. We are proud to have yet again demonstrated that Desert Jet is one of the safest aviation operators in the world.”

Desert Jet becomes only the 16th operator amongst hundreds awarded WYVERN Wingman PRO certification after achieving excellence in association with ongoing participation in WYVERN's Flight Leader Program (FLP). Wingman PRO utilizes 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.

WYVERN Wingman PRO is issued to a Wingman operator demonstrating effectiveness in all areas of SMS, excellence in addressing Human Factors and Organizational Safety Culture, and continuous conformity to international standards through an internal audit program.

The ARGUS Platinum rating, a highly recognized designation for safety and operational excellence, is awarded to an operator who passes a rigorous on-site safety audit and has a well-developed Safety Management Plan (SMS) and Emergency Response plan. Only operators who have successfully implemented industry best safety practices relative to their operations and maintenance achieve the ARGUS Platinum rating.

With its strong commitment to safety and continuous improvement, Desert Jet maintains a safety trifecta that includes IS-BAO (International Standard for Aircraft Operations) Stage 3 registration, Wyvern Wingman Pro certification, and ARGUS Platinum rating. Less than one percent of all charter operators in the U.S. have earned all three safety designations concurrently.
