Corcia joins CJP after spending nearly a decade with FlightSafety International, where he led sales and marketing efforts to the owner/operator and single-pilot segments.

“Trent is well-positioned to continue serving CJP membership in the future,” said its chairman, Randy Broiles. “He has a long background in aviation, including leadership, communication, and tactical strategic planning.”

 


In his new role, Corcia will be tasked with strengthening CJP’s relationships with its members, partner companies, and the broader general aviation owner and pilot community.

 


“Having a direct relationship with CJP and the membership since 2016, I fully embrace our mission of safety, interaction, advocacy, and philanthropy. CJP is a strong organization, and I look forward to working closely with CJP members and partners to achieve even greater success in the years to come,” he said.
