Executive jet broker International Air Charter has appointed Paul Baker as charter sales manager. He worked for Air Partner for seven years and, more recently, headed up the executive team at Air Charter Service.

Baker will run a team of eight executive brokers, specialising in aircraft with less than 20 seats.

Hugh Courtenay, ceo, International Air Charter says: "His responsibilities will include maintaining client and operator relationships, managing the current client database and ensuring IAC's high standard of service."

Courtenay says UK business for the last quarter was recorded at £3 million - an increase of 25 per cent on the previous year.
