Air Charter Service has promoted Maddison Gerhardt to Director of Private Jets – California as it plans to expand its two offices in the state.
The move follows 127% year-over-year growth for its Empyrean Jet Card.
“We are looking to recruit talented aviation professionals to grow the team and drive forward from our record year and a strong first quarter to this one. With scheduled services not expected to fully return to pre-pandemic levels for several years, private aviation is going to continue to be in high demand for the foreseeable future,” says Thomas Howe, CEO of Air Charter Service – California.
He adds, “We saw a lot of new customers turn to private aviation during the pandemic and we are now seeing many of them upgrade to a jet card, as a way to secure aircraft availability in a challenging market for fleet operators.”
Gerhardt has been with Air Charter Service for more than seven years starting her career as a consultant, before being promoted to senior manager and assistant director.
The U.K.-based broker has 28 offices globally, including Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Last year the cargo and group charter specialist recorded revenues of $1.8 billion.
