“Tim brings an enormous amount of expertise and experience to Amerijet and will be a key driver of our future success,” Karjian said. “I am excited to have the opportunity to work with him as we continue the company’s growth as a leading global air cargo provider.”

The succession will take effect during a period of profitable growth for Amerijet as it continues to evolve from a regional player in the all-cargo air logistics business to becoming a global air cargo provider. In 2020, Amerijet began scheduled non-stop operations from Miami to Brussels, connecting points beyond Belgium through a European road feeder service as well as providing capacity between Europe and the company’s network throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Mexico.
