Jon Thompson joins Air Partner

Air Partner appoints Thompson as director of business development for commercial jet division.

Thompson joins Air Partner from Air Charter Service.  He has 22 years of experience in the aviation industry and a proven track record of delivering high value bespoke aviation solutions to market leading exploration and production companies in the oil and gas sectors.

Paul Argyle, Air Partner’s director of UK commercial jets, said, “We are delighted to welcome Jon to the Commercial Jets team.  He has a wealth of valuable experience in the oil and gas sector, which is an area of particular strategic focus at Air Partner.  While oil and gas has long been an important part of our client base, as the search for energy moves into more remote and challenging regions, we are seeing a growth in demand for bespoke transport solutions.  Attracting and recruiting the right people is key to Air Partner’s success, enabling the firm to win and service business to the highest standards.  I have no doubt that Jon will be a great asset to our team.”

Air Partner’s commercial jets division organises bespoke charters and aviation solutions for groups of every size on airliners seating 20 or more passengers.  Clients include the conference and incentive industry, oil and gas, tour and cruise operators, international conglomerates, governments, and humanitarian aid organisations.
