National Jets sales and marketing manager Christopher Salley has been recognised with two 40 Under 40 Awards, one by the NBAA and another by Airport Business Magazine. The awards recognise young professionals in aviation for their career accomplishments and dedication to the industry. Airport Business Magazine's award focuses on honourees from all sectors within the aviation industry while the NBAA's inaugural list this year concentrates on young professionals specifically in business aviation.

“We are very excited for Chris that these two organisations recognised him as a 40 Under 40 top innovator and also someone who is dedicated to the further development of corporate aviation through his work as an industry board member,” states National Jets president and CEO Sam Robbin. “National Jets is proud to have Chris as an instrumental part of our team and we congratulate him on being named as a member of these groups.”

Salley adds: “I've always admired those who have been selected and recognised in years past and I'm honoured to be chosen in 2018. Aviation has become a way of life for me, not just an occupation. My hope is to continue working with other young professionals in our industry and grow in both knowledge and responsibility. Together, we will create the strongest core in business aviation for our future.”

Christopher will be recognised by the NBAA at the October 2018 Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (BACE). There will be a Young Professionals in Business Aviation (YoPro) Networking Reception on 16 October and the Day 2 Keynote on 17 October.
