AirSprint Private Aviation has expanded the roles of its senior leadership as the Canadian fractional ownership provider continues to expand. James Elian has added the title of CEO in addition to his duties as president. Elian, who has served as president since 2015 and has been with the company for 20 years, will continue to implement the company’s strategic plans and lead its daily operations.
“James's contributions have been fundamental to the overall success of AirSprint—which today operates Canada's largest and North America's newest fleet of fractional aircraft,” the company said.
Jared Williams, meanwhile, is now COO in addition to his previous responsibilities as v-p of operations. Williams, who joined AirSprint in 2017 and has more than 20 years of business aviation experience, is responsible for safety, asset and fleet efficiency, regulatory compliance, operational reliability, and owner experience.
Judson Macor, who founded AirSprint in 2000, remains chairman. "Who we are today is in great part a piece of where we came from, and I am indebted to all those who drove a startup company into Canada's leading private fractional ownership company," Macor said. He credited the AirSprint team for enhancing “our safety and service culture over the past year—during an unprecedented time."
Based in Toronto, AirSprint operates a fleet of Embraer Praetor 500s and Legacy 450s, along with Cessna Citation CJ3+s and CJ2+s.
