Canada-based Levaero Aviation has appointed industry veteran Ray Kuliavas to its executive team as vice president. He joins the aircraft sales and marketing team based in Toronto and will focus on business development and the key areas of new client acquisition, client retention and overall brand growth. His more than 40 years of aviation experience is based particularly in aircraft sales, product marketing management and service development.

“Having Ray Kuliavas join the Levaero team will contribute to the growth of our brand as a top aviation solutions provider,” says president and CEO Robert Arnone. “His experience will serve as an essential asset, which we look forward to sharing with our current and prospective clients.”

Kuliavas' extensive experience in bringing new aircraft to the Canadian market will prove invaluable as the company commences deliveries of the new PC-24 aircraft there, and he will also ensure that customers continue to receive best-of-class support for their aircraft.

In addition to offering and supporting the PC-12 and PC-24 aircraft throughout Canada, Levaero is committed to growing its pre-owned aircraft brokerage business globally. Kuliavas has represented several OEMs over the course of his career, and his experience and customer-first approach will allow Levaero to be an immediate authority in the pre-owned aircraft space.

“I've admired Levaero's dedication to customer service and its diverse service offering from afar throughout my career,” says Kuliavas. “To be part of one of Canada's most competitive aviation providers is an exciting milestone.”
