Jet Aviation appoints John Riggir as new vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Singapore

Jet Aviation has appointed John Riggir to succeed Gary Dolski as vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Singapore, effective September 1, 2014. Riggir reports directly to Stefan Benz, vice president and general manager, MRO and FBO operations, EMEA and Asia.

Jet Aviation has appointed John Riggir to assume leadership of its expanded maintenance and FBO facility at Singapore's Seletar Aerospace Park, including responsibility for the Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur facilities, effective September 1, 2014. Riggir succeeds Gary Dolski, who will remain in Singapore until mid- October to assist Riggir throughout the transitional handover and will be taking up new assignments within the company in the future.

A seasoned aviation professional, Riggir has dedicated his entire 37-year career to business and general aviation in Asia and Australasia. He joins Jet Aviation from Hawker Pacific Group in Singapore, at which he held various managerial roles over the past 18 years, most recently serving as executive vice president of corporate business development.

“John brings vast experience and know-how to this new position,” said Benz. “With his expertise and understanding of the local region, he brings significant value to our leadership team. I have every confidence in his ability to continue developing our services in the growing Asia Pacific market.

“While we welcome the opportunity to work with John, we are very sorry to see Gary leave his current position. During his tenure, Gary led the expansion of the facilities to add a new 5,000 square-meter hangar, which celebrated its grand opening ceremony on May 31 this year. Today, the company has significant opportunities in Asia, enjoys a loyal client base and is dedicated to sustaining its high level of customer satisfaction.”
