US-based Skyservice Business Aviation has appointed Ty Dubay as chief of staff. This new position will provide added support to the company's strategic growth objectives and expansion plans.

"Ty has an exceptional track record in delivering top line results and operational accomplishments in business aviation," says president and CEO Ben Murray. "He is a valuable asset to our team as we continue to accelerate our growth and scale our operations to serve a wider aviation community. We are thrilled to have him part of the Skyservice team."

Dubay has more than 20 years of global leadership and operational experience in aviation and automotive services. Prior to joining Skyservice, he was chief operating officer for Mike's Carwash, one of the largest exterior carwash chains in the US. Under his leadership, the business expanded its retail footprint by 75 per cent. Prior to that he held progressively responsible roles at NetJets, including as senior vice president, charter sales and customer experience where he was responsible for the worldwide operations, dispatch and logistics for over 210 aircraft. Dubay was also the former president of NetJets China, where he led the establishment of NetJets in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China, obtaining CCAR Parts 135 and 145 certifications and building the facilities and world-class team of aviation experts in the region.

"I am excited to join Skyservice as the company's chief of staff. It is a privilege to work for a company that cultivates and keeps the best business talent while providing clients with excellent service and uncompromising safety," says Dubay. "We are an organisation committed to delivering the best that business aviation has to offer, and my focus is to expand this calibre of service to more business aviation clients."

Since taking the helm of the company last spring, Murray has led Skyservice's expansion to the US with the rebranding of Leading Edge Jet Center in four Pacific Northwest markets including Seattle, Washington. It also opened Toronto South, its second location at Toronto Lester B Pearson International airport and the airport's newest FBO in over 15 years.
