The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is excited to announce that Candace Covington has joined its Board of Governors. With her strong leadership and deep experience in aviation, Candace will help ACSF continue its mission to make air travel safer and better for everyone.

Candace currently serves as the Senior Director of Aviation at Adobe, where she built and leads a top-notch corporate flight department. Her focus is on delivering safe, seamless, and exceptional travel experiences for Adobe’s executives and guests. 

Before Adobe, Candace spent over 10 years at Qualcomm, where she held roles like Chief Pilot and Senior Director of Aviation. There, she led efforts to improve safety by implementing a Safety Management System and a Flight Data Monitoring program, as well as setting clear flight procedures, and building a culture of trust and teamwork.

Candace is passionate about helping others in aviation. She founded Soaring Eagles Outreach, a non-profit that introduced disadvantaged youth in San Diego to aviation careers. She also served on the Southern California Aviation Association’s Safety Committee and was a founding member of the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) High Altitude Oxygen Working Group, which worked to identify an alternative means of compliance with the use of supplemental oxygen regulations for Part 91 operators based on technologically advanced aircraft systems. Candace is also the Chair of our new ROI on Safety Working Group.

“Candace brings a wealth of knowledge and a true passion for safety to our board,” said Debi Carpenter, President of ACSF. “Her leadership and dedication to making aviation better for everyone will help us take our mission to new heights.”

Candace also shares her expertise by speaking at industry events and mentoring students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. She talks about leadership, teamwork, and creating a workplace where everyone feels safe and valued.

Candace’s appointment strengthens the ACSF Board’s expertise in corporate aviation leadership and safety best practices, further supporting the foundation’s goal to enhance the safety of air charter and business aviation operations.
