FlightSafety boosts 'Building Our Future' with promotions
Ed Koharik joined FlightSafety in 2015, while Danny Robayo started out with the company way back in 1991. Both are considered to be excellent leaders, and they will be crucial in developing the Building Our Future project.

FlightSafety International has announced that Ed Koharik has been promoted to senior vice president, and Danny Robayo to vice president. They will lead Building Our Future, a company-wide transformation effort.

“Congratulations to Ed and Danny on their well-deserved promotions,” says David Davenport, president and CEO. “Having these two outstanding leaders oversee Building Our Future will help to ensure its success.”

Ed joined FlightSafety in 2015 and served as general manager, visual systems, prior to joining the Building Our Future team as a vice president when it was launched earlier this year. He previously served in the United States Air Force for 23 years.

Danny, who has also been a member of the Building Our Future team, joined FlightSafety at the Teterboro Learning Center in 1991. He has held a number of positions of increasing responsibility since then. They include pilot and maintenance training instructor for the Dassault Falcon 10, Falcon 50 and Falcon 50EX aircraft, programme manager for Falcon 50 and 50EX training, director of training and assistant manager. Danny most recently served as manager of the Teterboro Learning Center and as a regional operations manager with responsibility for five locations.

“Building Our Future will shape the path forward for FlightSafety, improve our processes, and promote growth and efficiency through innovation,” adds Davenport. “Most importantly, it will enable us to more effectively respond to the changing needs of our customers, and deliver the high-quality products and services they require, at the very best value.”
