executive with strong airline experience and a deep understanding
of our business. We are thrilled that he has joined the XOJET
team.” said Paul Touw, CEO, XOJET. “Eilif will be a
significant asset as we continue on our path to becoming a billion
dollar company.”
Prior to joining XOJET, Serck-Hanssen served as executive vice
president and chief financial officer for Eos Airlines, Inc., the

"XOJET’s innovative approach to private aviation has
driven its rapid revenue growth, customer adoption and business
expansion, which is particularly notable for a new aviation
industry entrant,” said Serck-Hanssen. “I look forward
to working with the management team and investors to build on this
solid foundation, and seize the tremendous global market
opportunities ahead.”
