Luxaviation ONE Appoints Helen Hollis as Managing Director USA
On Wednesday 21 January 2026, Luxaviation ONE, part of the Luxembourg-headquartered business aircraft operator Luxaviation Group, announced the appointment of Helen Hollis as its new Managing Director USA.
This reportedly marks a key milestone in Luxaviation ONE’s growth strategy and the expansion of its client-first charter platform across the United States.
According to Luxaviation, the appointment reflects a long-term, multi-million dollar investment from the group into the US market.
Helen Hollis brings more than fifteen years of experience in the air charter industry, with expertise in passenger charter operations, key account management and senior leadership roles across the Americas. Her career includes executive leadership positions at leading global charter organisations, notably as Senior Vice President Passenger Charters – Americas at Chapman Freeborn.
In her new role, Helen Hollis will lead the expansion of Luxaviation ONE’s US market presence, strengthening its charter offering and reinforcing its global capabilities. A core focus will be the development of an experienced US-based team with deep industry knowledge and a client-first mindset to support private jet charters, group passenger flights and cargo solutions. This strategic team build-up is expected to enable Luxaviation ONE to respond to a broader and more diverse range of client needs while maintaining “the highest standards of service, reliability and discretion“, supported by Luxaviation Group’s self-developed AI tools, designed to enhance speed, precision and scalability as the US platform grows.
