Exec 1's Learjet 45 does not have to make as many fuel stops as its Hawker 400XP or Beechjet 400A, so executive VP John Pugh says it has made a valuable addition. The company often flies into mountainous hubs.

Wyvern WingmanPRO certification is available for all operators in its FLP and legacy Wingman audit programme. It was introduced in October this year, and Exec 1 Aviation joins the short list of approved operators.

The parent of the IS-BAO effort is the International Business Aviation Council, which developed it as a code of best practices for the benefit of flight operations departments. Exec 1 has now achieved Stage II.
