XOJET announced Wednesday that Benjamin Murray, former EVP of
NetJets, Inc., and CEO of Executive Jet Management has joined as

global business effective immediately, and will initially be
focused on revenue and business development initiatives with a goal
of continuing to expand XOJET's market share growth.
"We are thrilled to have an executive of Ben's caliber and
talent joining XOJET," said CEO Blair LaCorte. "With Ben's depth of
knowledge about the industry, along with his past measurable
successes, we are in a great position to continue our tremendous
growth, which includes growing our membership program, adding new
aircraft to our fleet and making upgrades to our already
outstanding service that is unique to XOJET."
Adds Murray: "I am excited to be joining XOJET, as I firmly
believe they are the future of private aviation transportation
solutions. Through their unique hybrid business model that combines
on-demand charter along with membership programs, they have set a
new standard for the private aviation industry. I look forward to
leading the XOJET team through further innovations while helping
expand market share, and maintaining their uncompromised attention
to safety and customer service."
"Ben is joining XOJET at an exciting time, as we announced a new
round of expansion capital from TPG and Aabar in November of 2009
and are in the process of receiving the first of our 2010 new
planes in March," adds Blair LaCorte. "We are enjoying record
performance and are in a terrific position for continued
