Executive Jet Management Announces Sales Reorganization to Enhance Customer Focus at Local Markets while Providing Benefits of a Worldwide Leader

October 18, 2006 (Cincinnati, OH) -- A leading provider of worldwide private jet charter and aircraft management services, Executive Jet® Management (EJM) today announced a reorganization of its sales and aircraft owner relations teams designed specifically to align those highly-skilled professionals in their assigned regions to serve the complete spectrum of the private aviation needs of EJM’s customers.

Executive Jet Management’s sales team, which now includes over 40 sales professionals, will be more responsive than ever before in serving the demand of the private aviation consumers, no matter where that demand may arise. Every region of the country is now served by experienced local and regional charter sales professionals.

“Regionalizing our efforts and adding more personnel to all of our markets has many benefits for our customers. By expanding our national presence, we increase our ability to get closer to our customers to handle all of their charter and aircraft management requirements,” said Maurice Levy, Executive Jet Management’s senior vice president of charter sales. “This also allows our charter and our aircraft management divisions to align more closely, as one representative is assigned to all the charter activities for the aircraft based in their territory.”

Customers across the country will be able to experience the benefits of EJM’s enhancements to its sales team. The new plan means that Executive Jet Management’s charter customers will reach a charter expert who is dedicated to their region of the country and who knows that customer’s travel profile intimately.

“Our aviation expertise, large aircraft selection, and financial stability are delivered to each customer every day, within a stone’s throw from where the customer is calling,” said Robert Garrymore, senior vice president of client services for Executive Jet Management.

In the Northeast, Ronald Silverman, vice-president, regional sales, has charter and management sales responsibilities in addition to his aircraft management client relations duties. Lisa Denny, vice-president, regional sales, continues to support her New York-area aircraft management clients as well as additional charter sales duties. Gary Gennari and Michelle Grillot continue their roles as vice-presidents, regional sales in New York City.

In Mid-Atlantic States such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Peter Kiernan, vice-president, regional sales, is responsible for aircraft management client relations responsibilities and charter sales.

Kim Montgomery, vice-president, regional sales, continues her charter sales role in the Midwest region, as well as having client relations responsibilities for aircraft owners in those states, including Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.

Thomas Bayer , vice-president, regional sales, has charter sales responsibilities in the Southeast, and continues as the aircraft management client relations representative for that region.

Terry Doehling , aircraft management sales vice-president for the Central, Midwest, and Southeast region, now handles charter sales in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Brian Lash , vice-president, regional sales, has charter sales responsibilities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, and continues aircraft management client relations duties for owners in those states.

Rick Mondillo , vice-president, regional sales, has aircraft management client relations responsibilities in the Western region, and continues as the charter sales representative in that region.

Pete Pedicino , vice-president, regional sales, has charter sales and aircraft management client relations responsibility in Nevada and southern California, and continues as the aircraft management sales representative in the Western region.

Charles Hughes will continue to serve as an aircraft management client relations representative for select accounts throughout the United States.

In addition, Executive Jet Management has re-aligned the existing charter sales offices in Teterboro, NJ, Columbus, OH, Cincinnati, OH, Chicago, IL, and San Jose, CA, to be more regionally-focused. Led by a vice-president of sales, a team of charter sales professionals will serve the unique needs of charter customers in each region of the country. Executive Jet Management will also be expanding by opening a Texas charter sales office before year’s end.

Executive Jet Management manages aircraft in more than 60 locations throughout the country to meet the growing demand among discerning travelers for private jet travel.

“Our sales reorganization also benefits our aircraft management clients,” said Garrymore. “We can now better deliver charter demand to the managed aircraft in our fleet, since our sales representatives are tasked to drive that demand to the aircraft in their territory.”
