Calgary, AB, CA

Take Flight Group is a complete and vertically integrated group of private aviation companies, namely Air Partners coordinating aircraft management and charters flying worldwide, open year-round 24/7; Aircraft Works specializing in private aircraft maintenance; and Hangar59 managing private aircraft sales and acquisitions. We turn private aircraft ownership, an experience that can be very complicated, into a highly efficient business tool and process. Not only can we turn idle assets into revenue-generating assets for aircraft owners, we simplify the process by handling all of the operational requirements including pilots, aircraft maintenance, insurance, and training. A leader in industry safety, we are one of the few Canadian aircraft operators holding Contrail, Platinum Argus, and IS-BAO President, I am responsible for overall business strategy, marketing, human resources, legal, IT, new business development, and key account management. Safety first, I am the designated Accountable Executive, the person answerable to Transport Canada, and ultimately responsible for our actions.Touchpoint components include retail-like elements in our departure terminal; customer service with high service standards and expectations; the technical, operation of airplanes; manufacturing in the provision of aircraft maintenance; regulatory compliance; and governance via strong financial reporting treating each aircraft as an independent business unit and shareholder. Equally as important is being an Employer of Choice providing our employees with safe work conditions, people programs, rewards, and recognition.Our achievements have been many, from rebranding to aircraft fleet and revenue growth, building a new facility, and furnishing “legendary” customer service. I invite you to read the 2008 article below describing Air Partners’ rise during economic turbulence, and to view our Projects. Most importantly, how may we be of service to you?
