Darius Viltrakis, CEO of GetJet Aviation Holdings, stated: “Duglas’ extensive experience and strategic vision align with GetJet Airlines’ long-term objectives, particularly in advancing vertical growth through asset management, technical services and related business areas.”

Reflecting on her new role, Duglas commented: “I am confident that my experience and GetJet Airlines’ growth ambitions complement each other perfectly. I see great potential in further expanding our service portfolio, which will not only contribute to strengthening the company’s self-sufficiency but also increase its competitiveness. I look forward to working with the team to achieve sustainable growth, deliver top-tier services to our clients, and contribute to the overall success of the airline.”
