Serbian Company Earns 1st European Wyvern Pro Renewal

Serbian aircraft charter and maintenance company Prince Aviation is the first in Europe to renew its Wyvern Wingman Pro certification, the aviation risk management solution provider’s highest safety benchmark.

Nearly three years ago, Prince—which operates a fleet of Cessna Citations and Dassault Falcons from its base at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE)—received the Wyvern Level 4 safety management system (SMS) certificate, and was then certified under Wingman Pro, making it the first on the continent to receive that status. Wingman Pro is awarded to operators who demonstrate effectiveness in all areas of safety management systems, excel in addressing human factors and organizational safety culture, and maintain continuous conformity to international standards through an internal audit program.

In addition to its charter operation, Prince, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, operates a maintenance division and a pilot training center.

“We anticipate safety risks, set standards beyond legal minimums, innovate while maintaining compliance, and prioritize rigorous training for pilots and technical staff,” said Milica Djurdjevic, the company’s safety, compliance, and security manager. “Most importantly, we cultivate a company-wide safety culture where every employee is aligned toward our paramount goal: safety.”
