SAR Trilogy Management, dba Aero Centers, a network of US FBOs, has appointed Mark Babrick as vice president sales and marketing for its aircraft management and charter services division, aka Epps Air Service.

SAR Trilogy Management completed the acquisition of Epps Air Service, a full-service FBO at DeKalb-Peachtree airport in Atlanta, Georgia in April last year, adding Part 135 and Part 145 capabilities to its FBO portfolio.

"Mark's background in private aviation, proven track record of sales leadership and foundation of five star hospitality will elevate Aero Centers' charter and aircraft management services," says S Michael Scheeringa, co-founder and co-CEO of SAR. "We are looking forward to Mark's immediate impact on the Atlanta market at Aero Center Epps Peachtree as the business returns to a growth mode with a focus on the turbine business jet market."

Babrick has extensive luxury brand sales experience and a comprehensive understanding of the private aviation sector. He excels in connecting with an elite clientele, and his move from luxury hospitality to private aviation has allowed him to rapidly grow his business portfolio, demonstrate his prowess in relational leadership and deliver value creation for clients and the company alike. His commitment to operational success and client relations excellence has been the foundation for his success throughout his career.

At Aero Centers, Babrick will spearhead the integration of charter and aircraft management operations into the portfolio's well-established suite of services. His strategy focuses on safety, steadfast customer service, operational excellence and fiduciary responsibility.

President and chief operating officer Geoff Heck says: "Mark's vision for the aviation industry perfectly aligns with the ethos of Aero Centers. His appointment is a significant milestone in our journey towards offering first-class aviation facilities and services. His exceptional ability to forge strong client relationships, paired with his industry insight, makes him the ideal leader to advance our charter and aircraft management operations. We are confident that under Mark's guidance, Aero Centers will set the gold standard for private aviation services."

"Mark Babrick's arrival at Aero Centers is a testament to our company's commitment to excellence in the general aviation industry," adds Sanjay Aggarwal, co-founder and CEO SAR Trilogy Management. "His leadership is anticipated to drive the expansion of Aero Centers' market presence, ensuring an industry best service experience for all clientele."

"Sanjay, Geoff and Michael have created an industry leading platform for full service, integrated FBO offerings. The focus is on the customer and returning aviation service offerings needed by local communities. This is an incredible opportunity to facilitate a 'back to our roots' strategy for Aero Centers in the competitive private aviation industry," concludes Babrick.
