The company said the hires strengthen its sales team and bring experience across aircraft brokerage, maintenance, operations, aviation technology and leasing.

He has held roles in aircraft brokerage, original equipment manufacturers, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and fixed-base operations, and most recently was director of sales at an aviation enterprise software company. James Norris has experience in aircraft sales, acquisitions, leasing and market research. Previously vice president of sales for an established aircraft brokerage, he has completed numerous international aircraft transactions, and his cross-border sales and leasing experience helps him guide buyers and sellers through transactions, the company said.
