Director Regional FBO Operations West

Position Summary

At Jet Aviation, we are artisans of aviation—crafting journeys for our clients in the smoothest form since 1967. Today, our global team of 4,000+ professionals spans 50 locations, united by a passion for service excellence, safety, and the spirit of “enabling global flight.” As Regional FBO Director, you will direct all operational aspects of multiple FBO sites—leading customer service, line service, ground support, and more—while shaping our company's future culture as a visible, hands-on leader.

This is not just a management position; it’s a career launchpad for aviation change-makers ready to drive initiatives, develop people, and foster an environment where teams thrive together. You will be the critical link between base-level teams and executive leadership, breaking down barriers, advocating for resources, and never losing sight of “how we make work, work for everyone.” In this hybrid, high-travel role, you’ll champion Jet Aviation’s values internally and within the industry.

This is a full time, travel heavy position based out of a Jet Aviation US location. Expect significant travel to your assigned locations. The posted salary ranges will default to that of your regional location and will not include any premiums. Compensation for Dallas-based candidates: $131,000–$188,000. Actual pay will be aligned to your geographic location and experience level applicable to the role.

Lead, Grow, and Make an Impact at Jet Aviation

At Jet Aviation, leadership is about more than operational oversight—it’s about being present, building connections, and leaving a legacy of growth. As Regional Director FBO Services, you’ll lead by example, shaping a culture where people feel empowered to contribute, innovate, and shine.

You’ll engage with every level of the organization, inspire high-performing teams, and drive continuous improvement across our network. Your authentic leadership, approachability, and commitment to our values make a difference not just in how we work, but in the lives and careers of the people around you.

We value leaders who are passionate about developing others, nurturing strong, engaged teams, and collaborating seamlessly to achieve meaningful results. Your ability to break down barriers, advocate for resources, and model open, honest communication will shape the future of our business—and the broader aviation community.

If you’re ready to build, grow, and make a lasting impact, join Jet Aviation and help us perfect the art of flight together.
