XOJET announced Wednesday that Benjamin Murray, former EVP of
NetJets, Inc., and CEO of Executive Jet Management has joined as

of continuing to expand XOJET's market share growth.
"We are thrilled to have an executive of Ben's caliber and
talent joining XOJET," said CEO Blair LaCorte. "With Ben's depth of

aircraft to our fleet and making upgrades to our already
outstanding service that is unique to XOJET."
Adds Murray: "I am excited to be joining XOJET, as I firmly
believe they are the future of private aviation transportation
solutions. Through their unique hybrid business model that combines

new standard for the private aviation industry. I look forward to
leading the XOJET team through further innovations while helping
expand market share, and maintaining their uncompromised attention
to safety and customer service."

round of expansion capital from TPG and Aabar in November of 2009
and are in the process of receiving the first of our 2010 new
planes in March," adds Blair LaCorte. "We are enjoying record
performance and are in a terrific position for continued
