The Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) announced that Anthony Norejko will be transitioning out of his role as CEO as part of a planned leadership succession process.
Norejko has served as CEO for seven years, leading the association through a period of significant challenges and growth, including navigating the Covid pandemic’s impact on the aviation sector, federal election cycles, the implementation of luxury tax legislation, and ongoing advocacy efforts regarding airport access and infrastructure issues.
“Anthony has provided exceptional leadership during some of the most challenging times our industry has faced,” said Andy Nureddin, chair of the CBAA board of directors. “His strategic vision and unwavering commitment to our members has significantly advanced our industry influence during a critical period for business aviation in Canada.”
Under Norejko’s leadership, the CBAA has built a resilient organizational culture, developed a talented team, and successfully advocated for the business aviation community across multiple complex policy challenges.
“It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve this association and our members,” said Norejko. “The accomplishments we’ve achieved together—from strengthening our industry to advancing critical industry initiatives—belong to our entire community: the board, staff, members, and stakeholders who believed in our shared mission.”
The CBAA Board of Directors has initiated a comprehensive search process for Norejko’s successor. To ensure continuity of operations and strategic initiatives, Norejko will remain with the association in a transitional capacity until the right leader is identified and successfully onboarded.
“This measured approach ensures that our members and stakeholders will continue to receive the high level of service and advocacy they expect from CBAA,” added Nureddin. “We are committed to maintaining momentum on all our strategic priorities throughout this transition period.”
