Hired As King Air Pilot In November 2007

Executive AirShare, a Kansas City, MO-based fractional aircraft ownership company, announced Wednesday that Chris Morris has been promoted to the position of director of safety. Morris is responsible for overseeing the company's safety management systems and emergency response plan, and will report to Executive AirShare Director of Operations Adam Letts.

Morris has been a pilot with Executive AirShare since November 2007 and is PIC qualified in the King Air C90B and Super King Air 350 aircraft. He will continue to serve as a line pilot while working closely with Executive AirShare's chief pilots and director of training and compliance in his new role. He holds a Master's Degree in Aviation Safety from the University of Central Missouri.

"Over the past 24 months, Executive AirShare's flight department has doubled in size and we have dramatically increased our maintenance staff to ensure the highest levels of safety and service for our owners," said Executive AirShare President and Chief Operating Officer Keith D. Plumb. "Chris' experience and education uniquely qualify him to oversee our safety and emergency management programs well into the future."

In addition to its current fleet of 15 aircraft, Executive AirShare holds firm orders for 44 Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Spring 2009, with options on 12 additional Phenom 100 aircraft. The company also holds six firm orders and four options for Phenom 300 light jet aircraft, making Executive AirShare the only established fractional aircraft ownership company to offer Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 aircraft.

"Safety is our number-one priority," said Executive AirShare Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert D. Taylor. "We have taken steps to ensure that we maintain a safety-conscious corporate culture as we expand our operations utilizing Phenom aircraft and opening new markets."

Founded in 2001, Executive AirShare operates a fleet of late-model jet and turboprop aircraft serving owners throughout the Central United States.
