Apollo MedFlight achieves Wyvern Level 3 SMS

Apollo MedFlight has achieved Wyvern’s Level 3 Safety Management System (SMS), placing the firm among a select group of air medical operators with predictive safety systems. 

The designation recognises Apollo’s fully integrated safety culture designed to anticipate and mitigate risk before it impacts flight operations.

“Every second counts when lives are on the line; our clients need absolute confidence in their air medical partner,” said Miles Dunagan, vice president of Safety at Apollo MedFlight. “Achieving a Level 3 Safety Management System, earned in collaboration with Wyvern’s Flight Leader Program, provides our clients with that assurance. It means we don’t just react to safety concerns; we predict, prevent and continuously improve every aspect of our operations, ensuring that everyone goes home every time.”

Level 3 SMS represents one of the highest tiers of operational safety maturity, transitioning from a reactive to a proactive approach. 

Apollo’s advanced hazard identification systems catch potential issues before they impact flight operations. The operator’s integrated safety analytics across all operational areas enable the identification of trends, optimisation of protocols, maintenance and dispatch reliability. 

Unlike static compliance programmes, Level 3 SMS requires ongoing evaluation and enhancement of safety processes.
