Vantage Aviation is adding a seasoned aviation finance executive to its leadership team, as Torsten Schneider becomes the US aviation services provider's new chief financial officer.

Schneider brings an excellent financial track record established over two decades to Vantage Aviation's fully integrated business aviation services and the fastest growing FBO network in the country. He has spent most of that time in CFO level positions.

“Torsten builds effective finance organisations and develops valued relationships to further company growth,” says Vantage Aviation founder and CEO Ryan Maxfield. “He's bringing the experience and leadership needed to continue Vantage's momentum. We're fortunate to benefit from his strategic expertise to help us reach the next level.”

Schneider comes to Vantage Aviation after serving as CFO at APP Jet Center for its FBO network and prior to that was CFO for an airport services provider, specialising in ground handling, cargo and travel, where he led a finance team of over 25 people.

A holder of an MBA and Bachelor of Science in International Business, Schneider also served in leadership positions in Switzerland and Canada, before settling in his current role in New York.

“After an impressive year of growth for the company, there's no better time to join this team,” says Schneider of Vantage Aviation, which added five new locations in 2025. “I'm looking forward to building long-term value, as Vantage Aviation invests in people, service and facilities.”
