Ventura Air Services has appointed Martin Colin as vice president of maintenance.

Colin brings two decades of aviation maintenance and technical operations leadership.

He joins Ventura from Silver Air, where he served as VP of tech ops/maintenance director and has held the FAA Part 119 post since 2020.

Previously, he held leadership positions at XOJet Aviation and what is now Vista America.

In these roles, he was responsible for managing vendor relationships, overseeing maintenance operations, driving reliability initiatives as a key member of the CASS Program, and ensuring aircraft readiness with a sharp focus on safety and compliance.

Colin at Ventura Air Services will oversee all aspects of fleet maintenance and technical operations, focusing on the company’s expanding Citation Excel and Challenger 604/605 aircraft fleet.

CEO Sam Wolf says, “His deep technical expertise, leadership experience, and passion for safety perfectly align with Ventura’s operational priorities. As we continue to scale our operations, Martin’s vision and attention to detail will help ensure that Ventura remains a leader in private aviation reliability and client satisfaction.”

Ventura Air Services ranked the 25th-largest fractional/charter operator in 2024 after 27.4% year-over-year growth.
