Dallas Love Field-based Business Jet has appointed Lina Sabbah to the role of director of aircraft solutions and acquisitions.

Sabbah's appointment signifies a return to the company's origins in aircraft sales and acquisitions and furthers its mission of providing a comprehensive suite of services at every stage in the life cycle of aircraft ownership. In her new role, she will serve as the primary sales contact and resource for existing and potential aircraft owners.

"Lina's contribution to the company will extend far beyond traditional sales and acquisitions," says COO Britt Ham. "She brings extensive knowledge of aviation and a passion for people to the Business Jet team."

Growing up in the air capital of the world and spending most of her career at Textron, Sabbah is no stranger to aviation. During her time at Textron she experienced the inner workings of aircraft manufacturing, sales and acquisitions, and aircraft maintenance, all while fostering relationships with clients. Current and prospective customers interested in adding to or enhancing their fleet will be able to lean on Sabbah's wealth of experience while receiving consistent market updates, aircraft analysis and mission analysis.

"I am looking forward to connecting our clients with the solutions that make the most sense for them," says Sabbah. "The decisions that revolve around aircraft ownership are life-changing and personal; they require a customised approach and attention not only throughout the transaction process, but afterwards as well. At the end of the day, we will only present solutions we believe in.

"Our overall goal is to be the trusted partner for our owners. We want to make sure they are equipped with the right information regarding their aircraft and the market to ultimately help navigate the private aviation world."
