Airshare has hired Henry Kim as vice president of sales for the northeast region. The company recently brought its fractional programmes into this new territory, focusing on New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Kim brings 25 years of high-level sales performance to Airshare, including considerable experience selling fractional programmes in the New York market.

Kim joins Airshare from Jet It, where he served as chief commercial officer. Previously, he held leadership roles as director of sales for Bombardier, executive vice president and head of sales for Wheels Up, senior vice president of sales for NetJets and director of sales for Flexjet. Kim is highly regarded in the industry, having appeared on numerous speaking panels and been quoted in several publications, including Forbes and Robb Report. His insights in partnering with business and leisure customers in the US northeast will be invaluable as the company continues its rapid growth.

"I'm thrilled to be joining Airshare during such an exciting time for the company," he says. "Expansion into the northeast represents the next strategic milestone in the geographic growth of our fractional programme. Throughout its history, Airshare has been well-known for its exceptional service and financial stability. The opportunity to lead sales in these markets and serve both business and high net worth leisure customers is the perfect situation for the next step in my career."

In addition to offering fractional ownership and jet cards, Airshare provides aircraft management and charter services nationwide. The company currently operates a fleet of more than 150 aircraft, including managing all aircraft types across the country.

"Henry's experience and strong track record positioned him as the ideal person to lead fractional sales for us in the Northeast," says chief revenue officer Dylan Haynier. "His extensive network and dedication to customer service will represent us well in accelerating growth within this region."
