Andrew Svoboda, CEO of Phenix Jet Cayman, said: “Philipp’s diverse background and track record speaks for itself. His appointment reflects our confidence in Asia-Pacific’s potential, which is projected to surpass Europe as the second-largest private jet market by 2026. With Philipp’s leadership, we are poised to capture this growth while maintaining our uncompromising service standards.”
