Reynolds Jet Announces New Chief Executive Officer

Reynolds Jet is proud to announce the appointment of James Murray as Chief Executive Officer. Since joining the company as President in 2021, Murray has overseen the day-to-day operations of the business and has been instrumental in doubling Reynolds Jet’s fleet of managed aircraft, expanding its customer base and developing key verticals.

“Reynolds Jet has always been focused on providing top-tier service to our customers while adhering to the most stringent safety and operational standards,” said J. Mercer Reynolds. “I have known James for over a decade, and he shares those same core values while also bringing extensive hands-on operational leadership experience. He has been a great asset to the company as we’ve navigated our growth path these last three years and is the best person to lead the next phase of the Company’s transformation.”
