Jet Linx adds leadership role as part of strategic focus on aircraft management
Jet Linx is undergoing a strategic reorganisation across its network of 20 locations. As part of this, Scott Wilbanks is newly promoted to senior vice president of aircraft management sales.

Jet Linx has promoted Scott Wilbanks to senior vice president of aircraft management sales. As such he is responsible for managing the day-to-day functions of the company's aircraft management sales team.

"Since joining us seven years ago, Scott has been a pivotal member of the Jet Linx team, and we are excited to welcome him into this new leadership role," says president and CEO Jamie Walker. "Given his impressive sales experience and strong expertise in business development, Scott was a natural fit to lead our aircraft management team as we continue to pursue our dynamic expansion strategy through fleet growth and industry-leading aircraft ownership programmes."

Wilbanks' tenure with Jet Linx began in 2014 when he joined the Atlanta team as director of private jet card sales, before moving on to the national operations centre team in 2019 as vice president of regional aircraft management sales. He has over 20 years' experience in sales leadership and business development, previously serving as vice president of player development for an Atlanta-based casino marketing company, where he led the growth of clients within the gaming industry. Responsible for exploring new opportunities with casinos such as Caesars Entertainment, Atlantis and the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Wilbanks managed a diverse client portfolio of professional athletes, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives and business professionals.

"It has been an honour and pleasure to be a part of the Jet Linx family and witness such tremendous growth," says Wilbanks. "We have seen a significant increase in demand for private jet ownership solutions over the last year, and I look forward to working with our dedicated teams to deliver an unsurpassed aircraft ownership experience and support the company as we enter our next phase of growth."

This move comes as part of Jet Linx's strategic reorganisation, which includes regionalising the sales enterprise in order to optimise efficiencies between the company's network of 20 base locations and its national operations centre. In his new position, Wilbanks will work closely with Jay Vidlak, who was recently promoted from senior vice president to senior vice president, aircraft acquisition and sales, and with chief commercial officer Ron Silverman.
