VistaJet - with offices in Dubai and pressing for a Saudi AOC - is the world’s second largest private aviation company with the largest wholly-owned commercial fleet outside the Americas. It announced the appointment of Hersov, a highly experienced entrepreneur  today saying Hersov offers many years of experience both in the private aviation market and in the luxury goods business.  He was the founder of Marquis Jet Europe.
