Wyvern—an aviation safety and risk management company that provides auditing, consulting, and safety intelligence services—has launched its new podcast series, Wyvern Airways. This series is designed to enhance aviation safety awareness and knowledge, drawing on the expertise of Wyvern team members and industry professionals. The podcast aims to foster discussions on safety and offer insights for aviation operators, safety professionals, and industry stakeholders.
Hosted by Trent Corcia, Wyvern's v-p of operations support and a former U.S. Air Force C-130 Navigator, the series kicked off with guest Marcela White, co-owner of Tavaero Jet Charter. White, who has more than 35 years of industry experience, discussed key topics such as implementing a safety management system (SMS), building a strong safety culture, and gaining SMS buy-in from upper management.
White's extensive background as a licensed pilot and safety panelist provided perspective on the challenges and benefits of aviation safety management. Kris Stewart, senior manager of safety support at Wyvern, is co-hosting the podcast with Corcia.
Wyvern CEO Sonnie Bates commented, "This podcast series is one more way that we are demonstrating our commitment to adding value to our current and prospective customers. When thousands of us collectively increase our focus on safety, everyone wins.”
The podcast is targeted at various aviation professionals, including charter jet operators, corporate flight departments, MROs, and others involved in aviation safety.
