Wheeling, Illinois-headquartered aircraft management and private charter provider Priester Aviation has welcomed Andrew Fischer as vice president of aircraft management.

Fischer brings nearly 30 years of aviation experience to Priester, having worked for some of the biggest names in corporate aviation including Jet Linx, Pentastar and NetJets. He will oversee Priester's aircraft management team, which creates programmes structured to meet aircraft owners' individual needs and tailored to make their ownership experience easier.

“Andrew brings a strong sense of leadership to the Priester team,” says president Rich Ropp. “He's an experienced professional who has built and led teams before, always looking for better ways to serve customers' needs. He has done so much in so many areas of aviation that he understands how each component complements the other. Andrew's new business development acumen will grow Priester's ability to reach potential customers and prospects.”

Fischer graduated from the Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in aviation management and then worked for 19 years at NetJets, serving as programme manager before becoming vice president of sales. At Pentastar Aviation, he worked as an aircraft management consultant, and more recently at Jet Linx he added aircraft to its fleets at Midwest bases through its aircraft management programmes. He also has experience with jet card sales, complementing Priester's recent relaunch of its Centerline jet card programme.

“Priester's long history and family-run leadership stands out in aviation,” says Fischer, who is based near Columbus, Ohio. “It is an honour to connect with a company that prioritises its clients above all, and that delivers aircraft owners unmatched value.”
