Gowans joins Partners In Aviation as operations VP
PIA has strengthened its leadership team with Cameron Gowans, who has experience in sales, operations and strategy.

Partners in Aviation (PIA), a programme that pairs together two owners to share an aircraft and so share costs, has named Cameron Gowans as vice president of operations. He has previously held leadership roles at Four Corners Aviation, Aquila Aviation Holdings and Mente Group, as well as positions at Jet Linx Chicago, Embraer Executive Jets and Flight Options.

PIA president Mark Molloy says: “Cam's depth of knowledge and leadership experience in private aviation are a real asset for Partners in Aviation. His skillset and track record align well with what we do and what we need to help us continue to grow.”

Gowans adds: “Partners in Aviation is recognised and respected in our industry as having carved out a niche in the ever-evolving “shared-ownership” space that resonates with many of our customers, those somewhere between membership and ownership. From what I have observed, PIA's success has come from its commitment to doing one thing, 'Managed Co-Owhership', really well, and that focus resonates with me. I look forward to supporting its continued growth.”
