Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI), the leading independent provider of maintenance support and financial services to the aviation industry, has appointed business aviation veteran Francisco Zozaya to the new role of president of JSSI Latin America. Zozaya will also serve as senior vice president, business development & strategy for JSSI corporate.

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Francisco for many years. In his role at ALE he was a customer and partner to JSSI. I watched as he was instrumental in driving their business to new heights and know that he can help do the same for ours. He has a deep understanding of the business aviation industry as well as an exceptional reputation that goes well beyond Latin America. I am confident that Francisco’s work ethic, creativity, value system and leadership will have a significant impact on our success in Latin America and around the world. I could not be more excited to welcome him to the JSSI team," commented Neil W. Book, president and CEO for JSSI.

Zozaya will lead all JSSI activities throughout Latin America as well as oversee the global JSSI Alliance Program and JSSI Marketplace. The JSSI Alliance Program was first introduced in 2013 and is a multi-tiered framework for working with qualified members to deliver greater value to current customers, while expanding JSSI's reach and offerings to new customers.

Prior to joining JSSI, Zozaya spent more than a decade as pre-owned director for Aerolineas Ejecutivas (ALE), where he managed the pre-owned aircraft sales and acquisitions business unit. He established an extensive network within the global aviation broker and financial communities, and with OEMs and MROs, while facilitating key industry alliances for the largest business aviation company in Latin America. Zozaya graduated from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City as an industrial engineer.

"This is a great opportunity to work with the very talented team of industry professionals at JSSI," said Zozaya. "As a long-term business partner and customer of JSSI, I have observed the company’s unique position in the market for several years now. No matter what the aircraft or engine make and model, clients benefit from one point of contact and an unrivaled suite of technical and financial products and services."

He added, "I have personally experienced the benefits of this service and have always been impressed by the high level of trust JSSI has established throughout the industry. There couldn’t be a more exciting time to join and apply my background to continue to enhance service and support for JSSI clients in Latin America and business partners globally."
