Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 21, 2018, Alvin S. Trenk informed the Board of Directors of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation from the position of Chief Executive Officer for the Company and as a member of its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

On the same date, the Company’s Board of Directors elected Samuel D. Goldstein to serve the balance of Mr. Trenk’s term and to stand for reelection at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Goldstein, age 40, has served since 2014, and continues to serve, as Deputy Director of the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council (“HTJC”). During this time, HTJC successfully negotiated a settlement with the City of New York enabling the helicopter air tour industry to continue operations. During this time, Mr. Goldstein also served Kivvit Public Affairs (2017-2018) and prior (2008-2013), Mr. Goldstein was the director of government relations for Selfhelp Community Services, one of New York’s largest senior housing and social service organizations. The Board of Directors believes Mr. Goldstein’s industry exposure and outreach skills, showcased while at HTJC, make him a valuable addition to the Board of Directors.

Mr. Goldstein was not appointed pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person. Neither Mr. Goldstein nor any of his immediate family has been a party to any transaction with the Company, nor is any such transaction currently proposed, that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
