Charter Sales Executive - Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

About the role

• Aery Aviation is a Part 135 operator serving high-end charter, medical, and special mission clients. We're growing our Fort Lauderdale base, which today has a Cirrus Vision Jet and a Gulfstream G200 and is planned to grow to five aircraft. We need a proven charter sales professional to build it with us. This is a new market for Aery. You'll have the aircraft, the support, and the room to make it yours.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build the Aery name across South Florida
• Deliver trips clients talk about, from the first call to the follow-up after landing
• Take care of our aircraft owners and keep their aircraft flying
• Grow with the base as the fleet expands
• Own quoting and booking from first call to confirmed trip, with pricing that protects margin within the rate guidance
• Be the main contact for FLL charter clients before, during, and after every trip
• Handle the details: catering, ground transportation, FBO arrangements, special requests, pets, and occasions
• Tell clients early when weather, maintenance, or crew changes affect their trip, and offer alternatives
• Follow up after each flight, record preferences, and turn first-time flyers into repeat clients and referrals
• Help develop block-hour or prepaid offers for frequent flyers with the Charter Sales Manager and Finance
• Be the day-to-day relationship lead for owners of FLL-based managed aircraft
• Balance owner use with charter availability so the aircraft earns revenue while staying available to the owner
• Deliver monthly owner reports covering hours, charter revenue, and upcoming demand
• Identify prospective owners to place aircraft with Aery at FLL, working with Aircraft Management

You Must Have

• 2+ years of Part 135 charter sales experience
• A record of meeting and exceeding sales goals, with results you can show
• Strong aviation knowledge and the ability to close
• Confidence with senior executives and high-net-worth clients
• Availability when clients need you; you work from our FLL office Monday to Friday, except when visiting clients
• A South Florida client network, Spanish or Portuguese, or a pilot background is a plus
• Experience selling Gulf-stream or light jet charter, jet cards, or block hours
• Excellent communication with high-net-worth and executive clients
• Proficiency with CRM and charter quoting or scheduling tools
• Able to pass background checks and meet airport badging requirements
• Valid passport
