Kevin Ducksbury To Chair Air Charter Association

Kevin Ducksbury is stepping in as the next chairman of The Air Charter Association, effective April 1. He will succeed Weston Aviation’s Nick Weston, who is completing his term.

Ducksbury, who has a 30-year aviation background that has included time with Monarch Airlines and Air Partner, founded Emerge Aviation, an aviation consultancy and management services company, in 2012. In addition, he is currently working as a regional director with Dubai-based Air Charter International. Joining The Air Charter Association board in 2018, Ducksbury has been an active participant on several initiatives, including broker training and the association's launch of a podcast.

Looking forward, Ducksbury has outlined a vision to expand the organization’s geographical footprint, as well as to step up its promotion of the air charter industry to the next generation of aviation professionals.

“The association has made great strides during Nick's tenure as chairman, and I look forward to pushing further with the drive and success that the board has created over the last few years, to provide the highest level of support to our members,” Ducksbury said.
