Isle-Fly, a private charter service based at Jersey airport in the Channel Islands, has recruited former Gama Aviation and Aviation Beauport executive Ian Louden. Louden joins after 35 years with those companies and will lead all Isle-Fly's commercial flight operations for the business, helping to promote the company around the world and putting Jersey on the map for private air charters.

Director of flight operations Paul Sabin says: “Having worked with Ian previously, we are delighted to have him join our growing team. His extensive proficiency and knowledge of running seamless operations will not only help our crew but also give our customers a first-class experience. We have a strong customer base locally, across the UK and in Europe, but we are now preparing for our next growth phase of the business, which needs a dedicated member of the team to tell our story.”

Louden states: “Isle-Fly is growing and I am very proud to be part of the next chapter. We offer a unique private air charter service, which is already a popular alternative to commercial flying for many local, UK and European businesses and individuals. The extensive experience we share as a team across this industry should make us among the strongest small private air charterers operating in Europe.”
