Myles Parris discovered business aviation while working in airport operations and witnessing firsthand how business aircraft connected people, opportunities and communities in ways that commercial travel could not. He became fascinated by the behind-the-scenes logistics, precision and the potential for economic impact, especially at the local level. Through hard work, mentorship and a relentless drive to grow, he steadily rose through various operational roles, each one shaping his leadership style and deepening his knowledge of aviation. He never saw any task as too small and always looked for ways to elevate the people and processes around him, which ultimately led to his current position.

“What excites me most about business aviation is the chance to serve; to ensure a safe, efficient and welcoming experience for operators while also driving real benefits for the community,” Parris said. “Business aviation is more than just aircraft; it is about enabling progress, connecting people and making a difference both in the skies and on the ground.”
