Business aircraft brokerage jetAviva is opening a new sales office in Mexico headed by Gonzalo Quintana, who will manage all Latin America sales for the company. According to jetAviva, he has played an integral part in the sales of more than $900 million worth of business aircraft over his more than 30-year career in general/business aviation.

 


For the past 20 years, he worked for the Textron Aviation authorized sales representative in Mexico, selling new Citations. Quintana, who can fluently speak Spanish, English, and French, holds a private pilot license and has sold aircraft ranging from a Beech Baron to Cessna Citation Latitude.

 


“Having known Gonzalo for many years, I am ecstatic to finally have him on our team,” said Tim White, who was promoted from president to CEO at jetAviva earlier this month. “He brings with him a deep understanding of the business jet world, especially in Mexico.”

 


In conjunction with the elevation of White to CEO two weeks ago, jetAviva founder Cyrus Sigari is transitioning to the role of executive chairman, and Dustin Cordier will succeed White as the firm’s president.
