Expansion strategy puts JetAviva on top of pre-owned sales
2022 in-house results show jetAviva leads global pre-owned Citation and Embraer sales. Organisational changes and additions to the team will set the stage for further news in 2023.
CEO Emily Deaton.

For the third consecutive year Melbourne, Florida-headquartered pre-owned aircraft sales and acquisitions company JetAviva has claimed record-breaking results. The firm attributes its ongoing success to its expansion strategy into the larger cabin and international markets, in addition to continued leadership in the Citation, Embraer and Pilatus pre-owned markets.

“Our results set the stage for what is to come at JetAviva in 2023,” says CEO Emily Deaton. “We have established a level of sales and operational excellence that positions us for the next chapter in our company's evolution.”

The company is making several organisational changes to start the year. Tenured sales contributors Ben Dow and Jason Deifik have been named senior managing directors, and Jade Hofeldt and Kandi Spangler have been promoted to managing director. Their promotions recognise consistent high performance, tenure and leadership contribution to the company.

In addition, sales operations specialist Kyle Delphon has been promoted to sales director with specialisation in the Citation CJ4 and Citation Excel markets. Delphon joined the JetAviva team in 2020 with previous experience in sales and business development. Since then he has supported the company's sales efforts through his market knowledge and operational excellence.

“As an industry we face many challenges recruiting and retaining talent,” Deaton adds. “To combat this we emphasise promotion and advancement from within the team as much as possible and are pleased to celebrate these enhancements to the company's organisation.”

JetAviva also continues to build out its support team with the addition of Hailey Knight and Samantha Harris as sales operations specialists, key additions who will provide enhanced capabilities to support the company's plans for expansion.
