Gold Air International has named its new sales and marketing manager as Graham Messenger. With ten years of experience in the industry, Messenger said: "Plans for the company's expansion have been widely publicised and with other significant developments already in the pipeline, I see this role as one of the most exciting in the industry." During his time in the aviation industry, Messenger has worked with British Midland, with a Heathrow-based executive jet operator and most recently, with a London air charter broker. Meanwhile, Patrick Roofe has joined the Biggin Hill-based company from Hummingbird Island Airways Limited, where he was chief executive based in the Maldives. A father of three, Roofe moved back to the UK this year to fill the position of chief pilot for GAI.
