NetJets, Inc., and CEO of Executive Jet Management has joined as

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

aircraft to our fleet and making upgrades to our already

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

new standard for the private aviation industry. I look forward to
leading the XOJET team through further innovations while helping

to safety and customer service."

planes in March," adds Blair LaCorte. "We are enjoying record
performance and are in a terrific position for continued
