In his new role, Haight will oversee all facets of the company's maintenance, avionics, interior, and quality functions, while focusing on expanded capabilities, government and commercial contracts, and market readiness for future investment or acquisition. "Stepping into the CEO role at Haggan Aviation is both an honor and a privilege," said Haight. "Our team has laid a strong foundation over the past year, and I look forward to building on that momentum with a focus on scalability, operational discipline, and long-term value creation."

Haight's aviation background includes executive and general management roles at FAA 145 MRO facilities, government contracting organizations, and veteran-owned aviation firms. He holds degrees in Computer Science and Network Engineering and maintains certifications including Project Management Professional (PMP), APICS CPIM, Six Sigma, Level II NDI, and FAA A&P licensure. He also holds credentials in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations and OSHA safety compliance, underscoring his broad expertise in both advanced technologies and workforce safety.

With Haight's promotion and equity investment, Haggan Aviation is reaffirming its long-term commitment to excellence in corporate jet maintenance and repair, while positioning the company for strategic growth opportunities in the years ahead.
