Ventura Air Services is making moves with its two top executives.

CEO Nik Tarascio (pictured left) goes to the Executive Chairman of the Board.

Tarascio served as the CEO since 2010.

President Sam Wolf becomes CEO.

Wolf has served in his former role since 2020.

The changes are effective immediately.

Ventura Air Services became the 25th-largest charter/fractional operator in 2024, powered by a 27.3% gain in flight hours.

The company’s history dates back to 1955.

Tarascio said, “We are excited about these new changes within our executive team.”

He adds, “This transition will leverage leadership’s strengths and position Ventura for continued success.”

Wolf continues, “It’s an honor to lead Ventura, and I’m excited to build on the strong foundation we’ve established under Nik, continuing our mission of building the charter company we have always wanted to work for—a company that operates with integrity, takes pride in our work, and is attentive to the needs of our employees.”

The company offers a regional jet card program in the Eastern U.S.
