Nikki Higgins graduated from San Diego State University in 2008 as a business major with an emphasis in marketing. Although her grandfather was a fighter pilot and her mom was a flight attendant, she never dreamt her career would lead to aviation. Higgins started her journey as a business aviation scheduler out of Burbank, CA, and worked her way up, moving into VIP client relations, charter sales and now aircraft management sales director – learning every aspect of the business.

“I love that truly no two days are the same in business aviation and I have felt that since the first time I smelled the beautiful aroma of coffee mixed with Jet A,” said Higgins. “I have people who I look up to and view as mentors due to their extensive knowledge, skill set and experience. I now feel fortunate to be able to mentor the next generation of business aviation professionals.”
