With a potential mandate for safety management system (SMS) adoption by charter operators looming, Fly Louie, a provider of service solutions to independent Part 135 operators, has announced a partnership with industry safety management company Wyvern to help prepare for any changes to the regulatory landscape.
Fly Louie, which began in 2019 to provide independent charter operators with economy-of-scale savings through a free membership plan, is transitioning to a paid enrollment model as it expands the dimensions of offered services. As a benefit of its newly-introduced Alliance Pro membership tier, enrolled operators will receive cost savings of up to 50 percent from Wyvern.
“Aviation safety is what we do, and aligning with a top partner such as Fly Louie will help make our services more accessible to more operators,” said Wyvern senior v-p of operations Andy Day. “We work hard to make SMS easy and effective for operations of all shapes and sizes, and look forward to working with the Fly Louie team to make another positive impact on the private aviation industry.”
Those savings are in addition to the others they would receive through the Alliance membership such as the Fly Louie fuel program, which offers preferred fuel pricing at more than 75 FBOs nationwide.
