Joshua Hebert, founder and CEO of Magellan Jets, is stepping into the role of chairman of the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF). Herbert—who founded Magellan in 2008 and has since steered it into a well-established multifaceted business with charter, jet card, and other services—has been vice chairman for ACSF.

 


“Joshua has been an invaluable vice chairman and member of the ACSF executive committee and board of governors,” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “With his leadership, knowledge, and creative ideas in the aviation industry, he will make an excellent chairman.”

 


He is succeeding former chairman Michael Graham, the director of flight operations safety, security, and standardization at Textron Aviation who has been nominated to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

 


The White House late last year announced its selection of Graham to succeed Earl Weener as a member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), originally for a term expiring on Dec. 31, 2020.&nbsp; However, in late June, the White House followed with a second nomination that would have Graham on the board through Dec. 31, 2025. That nomination is currently pending in the Senate Commerce Committee.
