Jetcraft appointed Colin Dunne sales director for its Midwest territory in the United States. In his new role, Dunne will be a specialist for aircraft owners and buyers, collaborating with Jetcraft’s more than 80 team members of global advisors around the world.

Dunne joined Jetcraft as sales manager in 2019 and was based out of the company’s London headquarters. Throughout his tenure, he has helped facilitate more than $1 billion in closed aircraft transaction value while building and maintaining relationships with aircraft owners, operators and industry partners in northern Europe and the Middle East. He previously held roles across the aerospace, energy and construction industries in a mix of design engineering, project management and business development capacities, including two years working with aircraft owners, airlines and lessors.

“Colin has the expertise to ensure we continue to exceed client expectations across the Americas,” Dan Kilkeary, senior vice president of sales in the Americas at Jetcraft, said. “He already has a deep understanding of how Jetcraft operates from his time working with us in EMEA, so he’s perfectly positioned to make an immediate impact in his new territory and demonstrate our unmatched ability to sell aircraft at the speed of life.

“Colin’s appointment is the latest example of our response to continued demand by boosting the senior sales team across the Americas. North America is still driving the majority of demand for pre-owned business jets globally and our expanded team is set to play a crucial role in meeting this need.”

“Jetcraft provides an exceptional service to clients by offering market-leading intelligence, a truly global team and the most diverse jet inventory in the world,” Dunne said. “I’m looking forward to supporting clients in the Americas and showcasing why we’re the experts at marketing aircraft, negotiating and driving aircraft transactions, as well as finding innovative ways to make our clients lives easier when buying, selling or upgrading a jet.”

Dunne’s appointment to sales director follows two additional senior executive hires for the Americas earlier this year, taking Jetcraft’s headcount to more than 80.
