AVIATION specialist, Air Partner plc, has promoted Suzanne Sharp as manager of its UK Commercial Jets division, effective immediately.
The division charters airliners with 20 to 500 seats to move groups of every size.
Clients include the sport, entertainment and energy industries, governments, military and humanitarian aid organisations, royal families, motor manufacturers and the conference and incentive sector.
Suzanne has been managing Air Partner’s government and defence teams in the UK and Europe for the past three years. With a heightened emphasis at the Air Partner Group to expand its commercial jet charter activity, her new appointment into a key management role sees her reporting to head of UK Trading, Celine Shabbas.
“Suzanne consistently displays the flexibility and responsiveness necessary to ensure that tasks are handled efficiently and seamlessly. With her strong aviation background and knowledge of the business it is fitting she takes on this role to head the CJ team,” said Celine.
“She will focus on the division’s long-term growth and client retention, reinforce established business relationships, forge new customer interactions and implement a new service-driven business structure.”
Suzanne has worked in aviation for 14 years, the majority of them specialising in government and defence passenger and cargo operations. She joined Air Partner’s UK head office in 1996 and worked in the commercial jets and air freight divisions prior to becoming a senior commercial trader. In 2006, she left the company to widen her knowledge and experience within another aircraft broker’s passenger charter department but returned the following year.
Air Partner Commercial Jets has devised and executed many of the most complex air operations in civil aviation as well as thousands of routine individually tailored flights.
Contracts have ranged from large product launches and arctic trooping exercises to birthday weekends and world breaking in-flight concerts. The division includes Air Partner’s Service PLUS department.
