Cabot Aviation, the global aircraft remarketing division of Air Partner PLC, has announced the strategic expansion of its operations into the Private Jet sector with the appointment of Tim Barber as Senior Vice President - Private Jets to lead the team.

Cabot Aviation is a well-established and successful aircraft remarketing broker which primarily operates in the commercial and cargo aircraft types. The expansion of Cabot Aviation’s operation to encompass Private Jets is both a logical step to broaden the service proposition that Cabot Aviation can offer to clients and it is highly complementary to the leading Private Jet charter and JetCard operations of Cabot Aviation’s parent company Air Partner.

Tim Barber has been appointed as Senior Vice President Private Jets to lead the Cabot Aviation operation. Tim is a leading and respected figure in Private Jet sector and was part of the group who established JetBrokers Europe in 2009.

Tony Whitty, CEO of Cabot Aviation, commented: "Cabot Aviation’s commercial team has had a busy year having recently placed eight aircraft and our acquisition by Air Partner has proved a success. We have been looking to expand into the Private Jet sector for many years and have been looking for the right person to lead the expansion. Tim Barber is the perfect person to lead this new operation as he brings a wealth of experience and far reaching contacts, so we are looking forward to welcoming him to the team."

Tim Barber, Senior Vice President - Private Jets said: ‘This is a phenomenal opportunity for me. To be part of a respected and long standing remarketing organisation such as Cabot Aviation, that is in turn part of a leading aviation services group, offers phenomenal scope to deliver the very best services to clients across the globe."

Paul Richardson, Director Private Jet Charters for Air Partner added: ‘We are truly able to fulfil every clients need in the Private Jet sector. Across Charter, JetCard and ownership, we can deliver the right solution for their individual or corporate needs, with a seamless team approach and a superior service experience. I look forward to working with Tim to maximise the benefits to our global client base.’

Tim Barber, along with representatives from Air Partner, will be attending NBAA in Las Vegas between November 17th-19th.
