New Hampshire-based Private Jet Services Group has acquired The Flight Exchange (TFX), a technology platform for private flight scheduling. In connection with the acquisition, TFX founder Chris Early joins the PJS executive team.

“We are thrilled to have Chris join our leadership team. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. The addition of his experience and professionalism furthers our mission of delivering exquisite transportation for our customers,” says chief executive officer Greg Raiff. “Acquiring TFX is the next step in providing our customers with the industry's most advanced and flexible private flight experience. TFX has developed proprietary technology that provides real-time insight into demand and aircraft availability. We are excited about integrating the TFX capabilities into our customer experience. This innovative platform will automate previously manual processes, enabling our service team to spend more time listening to our clients.”

Early has served private fliers in both the corporate enterprise and luxury leisure market segments for more than 15 years. In his new role he is charged with mentoring and growing the western region team, thereby expanding the company's local presence in these significant markets.

“I am very excited to have the opportunity to offer my clientele the PJS experience of personalised, intelligent, flexible and worry-free air travel,” adds Early. “After 15 years in the private aviation space, it is clear to me that PJS is not only the right fit for me, its consultative approach and superior suite of services are precisely what air travellers need and deserve.”

Before joining PJS, Chris built two of his own aviation companes after working for a number of fractional, jet card and charter organisations. In 2018, he founded The Flight Exchange (TFX), having previously set up private aviation and luxury lifestyle tech services company Propel. He has also held roles as president of Bird Dog Jet and vice president of sales for Sentient Jet.
