The Av8 Group has hired Penny Tomlinson as sales manager for Av8 AOG. She will assist Av8 in all facets of the business, but her primary focus will be on continuing to support AOG customers worldwide.

Tomlinson has more than 30 years of aviation experience, graduating with her A&P licence from the Michigan Institute of Aeronautics. She has previously worked for other aviation companies such as Kalitta Air, USA Jet, Mesaba Airlines, Gulfstream, Falcon Jet, Flexjet, Aviall/Boeing and Castle Aviation. She has experience with commercial aircraft as well as several corporate types, including Falcon 20s, 50s and 900s; Gulfstream G150s, G-IVs and G450s; and all series of Learjets. Penny is well known in the aviation industry and has many long-term connections that make her a valuable addition to the growing Av8 team.

“I'm thrilled for the opportunity to continue my aviation career with Av8, while also gaining additional knowledge from the MRO aspect,” she comments.

“As our AOG and part segment continues to grow, Penny's addition to the team will be a beneficial asset to our valued customers, getting the parts they need as quickly as possible and back in the air,” adds Yoel Arnoni, CEO.
