Jim Christiansen, 54, is leaving charter/management/fractional ownership provider TAG Aviation USA after managing its integration with Wayfarer Aviation over the last two years. The business aviation veteran, chairman of the Fractional Ownership Aviation Rulemaking Committee (FOARC) and former president of Wayfarer, was named executive v-p and COO of TAG Aviation USA when the merger was completed in late 1999.
Now that the integration is complete, Christiansen like a thoroughbred race horse, is champing at the bit for a new challenge to which he can apply his experience and expertise. He told AIN last month that his work is done at TAG Aviation USA and that he is looking for another challenging job, work “I can get my teeth into. My job was to integrate the two businesses. That’s done. It boils down to we don’t need two presidents [a reference to TAG Aviation USA CEO Jake Cartwright]. We’ve done the integration. I’ve finished it. I need another new challenge.”
