CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Air Charter Holdings Inc. (OTCID: PREM) (“Premier Air Charter,” “Premier,” “PAC,” or the “Company”) today announced the appointment of Greg Johnson, President and CEO of Tuvoli, to its Board of Directors. Johnson brings more than two decades of leadership experience across private aviation operations, FBO management, charter brokerage, and aviation-focused financial technology.
Johnson is widely recognized for his expertise in modernizing the transactional and operational backbone of private jet charter. In a recent industry interview on the Iron Bird Podcast, he outlined the systemic challenges facing operators, including quoting inefficiencies, payment ambiguity, data fragmentation, and the widening gap between sales activity and actual booking conversion. His perspective on reducing friction in charter transactions and improving revenue management aligns directly with Premier’s commitment to operational excellence and technology-enabled growth.
“Greg’s understanding of where private aviation is headed, and what must be fixed for operators to scale profitably, makes him an invaluable addition to our Board,” said Vincent Monteparte, Chairman of Premier Air Charter. “His insights into payment systems, workflow automation, and customer experience will help guide Premier as we expand our fleet and strengthen our market position.”
Johnson has held leadership roles across multiple segments of the industry, from running FBOs and charter brokerages to building the financial and transactional infrastructure now used by operators nationwide. His work at Tuvoli has focused on solving one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: ensuring that trips are quoted, booked, paid for, and tracked with clarity and speed.
“I’m honored to join Premier’s Board at such a pivotal moment in the Company’s growth,” said Johnson. “Premier is expanding its fleet, modernizing its operations, and positioning itself to meet rising demand with greater efficiency and transparency. I look forward to supporting the team as they continue building a scalable, technology-forward charter platform.”
Johnson’s appointment follows Premier’s recent fleet expansions, including the addition of a Challenger 604 and a Citation X, as the Company executes its disciplined growth strategy designed to enhance charter capacity, improve service availability, and drive long-term shareholder value.
