Washington, DC, September 23, 2019 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (acsfdev.com) is pleased to announce the election of NV Jets CEO and Founder, Laura “London” Penly, to the ACSF Board of Governors. The Board of Governors establishes the ACSF’s strategic goals, policies and programs. This group of distinguished aviation professionals also provides expertise on several aviation-related issues, including flight operations and safety management systems, and maintenance.
A native of London, England, Ms. Penly moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2000. Shortly after college graduation, Penly returned to England and moved up the ranks with a subprime lender, for which she managed repossession of major assets. This position ultimately brought her back to the United States, where her work and increasing number of customer relationships led her to private aviation.
Penly delved passionately into the science of aviation, reading and studying federal regulations intensively, and she soon acquired two aircraft. Within a year, she was granted a Part 135 on-demand charter certificate, and, with that, founded NV Jets, in 2010.
Located at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, NV Jets was voted “Best Airline” in the annual issue of the “Best of” Las Vegas Review Journal, beating out airlines such as Southwest and Allegiant. The company has received numerous other awards and “firsts” in the state.
“I’m thrilled to join the ACSF’s Board of Governors as its first female member, and to help advance the organization’s mission,” Penly said of her election. “My own mission statement is clear: ‘Safety First,’ and I work tirelessly to ensure that this mission trickles down to every employee at NV Jets.
ACSF President Bryan Burns said he is delighted to welcome London Penly to the Board of Governors. “She is a knowledgeable, talented leader, one who I’m sure will strengthen the ACSF’s current and future activities.”
