Increasingly, we are also aggressively aligning our products and services to assist the industry in achieving its 2050 ‘Net-Zero emissions' environmental goals. I look forward to providing my insight and expertise to further the Company's growth."

Additionally, the Company announced that Jack Olcott has resigned from the Board of Directors (and as a result will not stand for re-election at the AGM). He joined the Board of Directors of FLYHT in 2008.

Kent Jacobs, President and Interim CEO, said, "Jack's contributions to our Company over the last 15 years have been remarkable. His deep understanding of business aviation and steady guidance through years of growth and challenges have helped to build FLYHT into the leader that it is today. On behalf of our shareholders, the management team and the Board, I would like to personally thank Jack for his impact and service and wish him a wonderful retirement."
