Brooke Brown, an expert in analysing market conditions and structuring aircraft transactions, has been named vice president of aircraft sales and acquisitions at Elevate Aviation Group's Elevate Jet. Elevate Aviation Group is an integrated aviation company offering charter, aircraft management and related business aviation services through its Private Jet Services, Keystone Aviation, Keystone MRO and Elevate Jet divisions.

“Brooke and her expert team handle transactions for any type of aircraft, including more complex trans-border transactions,” says CEO Greg Raiff. “They can assist clients who simply wish to buy or sell an aircraft, as well as those desiring a more comprehensive set of services through Elevate's Keystone Aviation, including full management of the asset and the generation of offsetting revenues through Part 135 charter.”

Brown joins Elevate Jet from an established aircraft brokerage where she built and led a team of six and expanded aircraft sales during her four year tenure with the company. Her background in aircraft transactions includes light jets to heavy, ultra-long range jets and commercial sized business aircraft such as the Boeing Business Jet.

“Brooke has impressive and broad expertise for an aircraft sales professional, benefitting our clients,” adds president Randy McKinney. “These include applying for and obtaining a Part 145 FAA repair certificate for a previous employer and managing major aircraft inspections, refurbishments and next generation avionics installations for customers. We are thrilled to have her level of expertise at Elevate.

“Brooke will help buyers and sellers with every step of an aircraft transaction, including positioning their assets for the future.”

Brown has management experience in both travel and healthcare industries. She is a graduate of Florida State University with a degree in international affairs.
