Executive Staff Changes

Greetings and salutations AAVA crews!

It is once again my privilege to announce a promotion, but this one is extra special.
Andrew Swift joined AAVA about two years ago and rose quickly through the ranks from JFK Assistant Hub Manager, then on to Hub Manager. Under his leadership and collaboration with the amazing Randy Kaster, NYC/LGA became more active, engaged and emerged greater than I’ve seen in my tenure.

Because of his dedication, attention to detail and mediation skills, we began discussing his promotion to the Senior Executive Staff. Without hesitation and immediate consensus, he was offered a role which he quickly accepted.

Please join me in welcoming Andrew to his new position as Human Resources Director!

Paul Ledford, who is stepping down from that role, alongside our Training Director Pablo Vazquez, have graciously volunteered to help with training and there’s a lot to learn so go easy on him for the time being!
You might think his former position is now vacant but alas, no! As a tremendously successful team, he and Randy worked closely to develop our NYC hubs, so Captain Kaster will assume the Hub Manager role.

Please join me in congratulating Randy for his new position as NYC Hub Manager!

Some virtual airlines have no hope of advancement for pilots, but that’s not the case with AAVA. We stand stronger because of the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff and crews. YOU are what makes us great!
