Expanding U.S. charter business has prompted Jet Aviation to add new charter management positions. Steven Wilson, formerly of Goodrich, CAE and Avolar, is the new head of U.S. charter services, with offices in Chicago, Dallas, Teterboro, Van Nuys and West Palm Beach. Bob Seidel, formerly of Gulfstream, has joined Jet Aviation as svp and general manager for charters, and will be responsible for all North American sales activities.
Other new charter sales positions include Alice Kalupa, regional sales director or the Western region. She is based in Van Nuys and joins regional sales director Lisa Schiebelhur, who has been with Jet Aviation since 1999; Jet Aviation reports fast-growing charter demand on the West Coast.
