Global Air Charters, a leading US provider of airframe management, brokerage, sales and acquisition of luxury air travel solutions, is delighted to announce the appointment of Michael Vanacore-Netz as its new chief executive officer effective July 1, 2023.

With a proven track record of success, Michael brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Global Air Charters. Along with his extensive knowledge and visionary leadership, the company is poised to reach new heights and further enhance its position as a premier provider of private air travel.

"I am most excited to work with three particular groups of individuals; our employees, the stakeholders and our customers. All three are equally important to GACs value and our growth moving forward," says Michael.

Having held multiple key leadership roles with GAC, Michael deeply understands the business challenges and opportunities.

Paul Rodsjo, executive vice president and director of operations, states, "Early on, I recognised Michael's potential and drive. And I believe his strategic acumen and strong business acuity make him the ideal candidate to lead GAC into its next growth and development phase."

Under Michaels's leadership, Global Air Charter aims to expand its fleet, strengthen its global network of partners and introduce innovative service offerings that cater to the evolving needs of luxury travellers. With a focus on delivering unparalleled customer experiences, the company is committed to exceeding client expectations and setting new industry benchmarks for excellence.

Todd Vollhaber, the outgoing CEO, expressed his confidence in Michael's abilities, stating, "We are thrilled to have Michael take the helm at Global Air Charters. His forward-thinking approach makes him the perfect fit to lead the company into its next chapter. We are confident that the company will continue to thrive and exceed expectations under his guidance."

Simultaneously, GAC is excited to announce that Todd Vollhaber has been appointed as chairman of the board. As chairman, Todd will continue to provide invaluable guidance and direction over all three facets of Global Air Charters, namely GlobalMX (GMX), its Part 145 repair station, Global Air Charters (GAC), its Part 135 air carrier and, ultimately Global Air Lines (GAL), its Part121 operation. In this newly appointed role, he will oversee the company's long-term goals and leverage his extensive industry knowledge, relationships and leadership expertise to ensure the company's sustained success and continued growth.

Commenting on his appointment, Michael expressed his enthusiasm for the role, saying, "I'm looking forward to bringing new leadership principles as I enter this role. I'm looking forward to a new set of objectives and goals that GAC can strive for. More importantly, I look forward to building a bigger and better culture within the company."

Global Air Charters looks forward to starting this exciting new chapter with Michael at the helm. With his leadership, the company is poised to redefine luxury air travel and hospitality and create exceptional experiences for its discerning clientele.
