Standards

ARG/US and Wyvern Wingman Logos

Vendors must be ARG/US Platinum, Wyvern Wingman Certified, or at a minimum have implemented the core elements of a Safety Management System. Individual trips must pass a Green Trip Cheq from ARG/US or have a Wyvern PASS report.

Less Than or Equal to 25 Years Old

All aircraft must be 25 years old or newer; any aircraft from a non-certified operator or older than 20 years old must pass an additional approval process audited by Solairus personnel. This Solairus audit investigates the aircraft’s service history, maintenance records, FAA, insurance coverage and a thorough review of the operator’s safety management system.
