'Disruptive' IBIS Airlines™ Names Ian Herman Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Palm Beach, FL, May 24, 2017 (Newswire.com) - IBIS Airlines™, a privately held, national, “low fares – high tech” consumer-centric airline company, today announced Ian Herman as their Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Herman, a British-born naturalized American citizen, is the co-founder of the company and brings more than 30 years’ experience in business restructuring, mergers, acquisitions and start-ups.  Significantly, Mr. Herman has successfully turned around aviation businesses, expanded their range of services and ultimately taken one public. 

“Our nation is in need of an airline that not only makes air travel accessible to those previously unable to afford the high fares, but also ensures that customers are treated with respect and their consumer needs are met beyond expectations,” he said.

Ian Herman, Chairman & CEO

“To help offset the high cost of tickets, IBIS Airlines is creating revenue centers far beyond the existing industry standard marketing and advertising models. Our unique approach includes strategic commercial affiliations to create a powerful financial impact which will change the traditional airline model. This will enable IBIS to provide additional services with no additional charges, a welcome change from the now commonplace add-on fees of other airlines.”

Herman’s aviation background includes serving as Chairman and CEO of Global Aircraft Solutions, a publicly listed U.S. company. Under his leadership, the company acquired Hamilton Aerospace Technology and World Jet, and operated Global Aircraft Leasing in Tucson, AZ. Herman re-branded that organization as a reputable provider of large transport-category planes; along with aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul, the company rapidly reached profitable status with $50 million in revenue. Previously in the U.K., Herman served as the Chairman and CEO of British World Airlines from 1988 to 1990, leading the restructuring of the sixth-largest airline within the European passenger and freight space. He also provided the feeder services, which helped expand Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic Airlines, and was instrumental in helping Federal Express come to Europe by supplying cargo planes for their delivery service throughout Europe.

As president of his own accounting firm in the U.K., Ian Herman specialized in consultancy and interim CEO and chairman services, rescuing financially distressed companies.  Concurrently, he served as Chairman and board member for the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry, London & South East Development Board, operating on behalf of the British government. He successfully recruited significant inward investment, and was recognized for his services to the country by the Queen of England at Buckingham Palace.

Herman remains passionate about the airline industry, and in this exciting new venture strives to find innovative ways to improve customer service, lower costs and increase comfort
