"Bob Ettinger brings a tremendous amount of experience to the company," said Ron Ricciardi, president & CEO of FBO Air, Inc.

Bob's leadership in the development of high-growth companies will be put to great use in fulfilling FBO Air's goal of being a first-class operator of FBO's and, through the executive jet management division that Bob will lead, extending the Company into the business of managing third party-owned jet aircraft available for charter."
