The Air Charter Safety Foundation appointed executive director Debi Carpenter as president, effective July 1, following the retirement of president and CEO Bryan Burns after more than a decade of leadership. Burns, who brought more than 35 years of aviation industry experience to ACSF, previously served as general manager at several FBOs, including Signature Aviation at Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA).

During his tenure at ACSF, Burns transformed the organization into a leading voice in aviation safety across charter, corporate, private, and advanced air mobility sectors. He championed the expansion of programs such as the Aviation Safety Action Program and the Industry Audit Standard.
