significant asset as we continue on our path to becoming a billion
dollar company.”
Prior to joining XOJET, Serck-Hanssen served as executive vice

"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.”
