Mitchel has already played a key role in building upon
SkyShare's FAA Part-135 Certificate, aligning closely with the
company's safety and compliance objectives. After serving as Chief
Operating Officer (COO) at Airshare in Kansas City for over seven years and Vice
President of Baker Aviation in Fort
Worth, Mitchel holds more than 6,800 hours as an ATP pilot
under his belt, including 2,000 hours in 737/BBJs. His three-plus
decades in the industry are a welcome addition to the executive
team.
"It's a thrilling time to be in private aviation, and we are
building something great here at SkyShare," said Mitchel. "Since my
arrival, we have significantly revamped our SkyOps flight
department, strengthening our pilot support and enhancing our
relationship with the FAA. From acquiring approval for operating
aircraft over 12,500 lbs, changing our FAA certificate name to
SkyShare, LLC, and adding Part-91K operations to our cert, we're
ecstatic about the progress we've made and continue to make."
An avid pilot, Greg Johnson joins
SkyShare as a seasoned professional with 20+ years of private
aviation experience. With 150+ successful aircraft management
agreements under his belt, his bread and butter lies in aircraft
management and charter, FBO operations, and aircraft sales and
acquisitions. He previously served as Senior Vice President for one
of the world's largest super-mid and large cabin aircraft operators
and also holds a certification from NBAA's aircraft management
program.
"This is a really special group of aviation professionals," said
Johnson. "I'm excited to lead SkyShare's Managed Aircraft sector
because we're able to provide our managed clients guaranteed,
predictable charter revenue due in part to our SFX and SFX+
fractional programs, as well as offering reciprocal access to our
incredible fleet."
Jason Bercan, also a pilot with
over 20 years of private aviation experience, transitions from V.P.
of Sales at Verijet and assumes the role of Director of Charter
Sales at SkyShare. His responsibilities include identifying client
needs and ensuring SkyShare's fleet meets business requirements
after extensive involvement and sales experience in fractional
operations in Ohio and
Florida.
"We could not be happier to welcome Harry, Greg and Jason to the
SkyShare family," said SkyShare CEO and founder, Cory Bengtzen. "Each brings their own value to
SkyShare whether it be charter sales, previous work at other
fractional operators, aircraft management, and most importantly,
customer service, which is the heart of our core values and company
culture. I have the utmost confidence in them to uphold our
standards while bringing an added level of excellence and service
to the company."
Following its recognition by Inc. 5000 and Utah100 for
consistent growth and profitability the previous three years
running, SkyShare continues to revolutionize the ways entrepreneurs
and businesses leverage private flight through unmatched financing
options, lower barriers to leverage fractional ownership, and
more.
