Ventura Air Services Appoints Aviation Expert Martin Colin as Vice President of Maintenance
May 5, 2025
Nashville, TN — Ventura Air Services, a premier provider of private jet charter and aircraft management services since 1955, is proud to announce the appointment of Martin Colin as Vice President of Maintenance. Martin brings more than two decades of aviation maintenance and technical operations leadership to Ventura, further strengthening the company’s commitment to safety, reliability, and operational excellence.
Martin joins Ventura from Silver Air, where he served as VP of Tech Ops/Director of Maintenance and FAA Part 119 post holder. There, he led compliance, airworthiness, conformity, and CASS (Continuous Analysis and Surveillance System) initiatives while overseeing maintenance operations across an international fleet. Before joining Silver Air in 2020, Martin held key leadership roles at XOJET Aviation (and later Vista America), serving as Lead Maintenance Controller, and later as Maintenance Control Manager. In these roles, he was responsible for managing vendor relationships, overseeing maintenance operations, driving reliability initiatives as a key member of the CASS Program, and ensuring aircraft readiness with a sharp focus on safety and compliance. His ability to streamline processes and implement proactive fleet management strategies played a pivotal role in maximizing aircraft availability and minimizing downtime. Martin’s track record in both hands-on maintenance leadership and strategic operational planning positions him as a strong asset to Ventura’s growing team.
At Ventura, Martin will oversee all aspects of fleet maintenance and technical operations, focusing on advancing the safety, reliability, and efficiency of Ventura’s expanding fleet of Citation Excels and Challenger 604/605 aircraft.
“We are thrilled to welcome Martin to the Ventura team,” said Sam Wolf, CEO of Ventura Air Services.
“His deep technical expertise, leadership experience, and passion for safety perfectly align with Ventura’s operational priorities. As we continue to scale our operations, Martin’s vision and attention to detail will help ensure that Ventura remains a leader in private aviation reliability and client satisfaction.”
Martin’s leadership philosophy emphasizes technical precision, regulatory compliance, and continuous team development — values that align with Ventura’s culture of excellence.
“I am excited to join Ventura Air Services at such a pivotal time of growth,” said Martin Colin. “Ventura’s reputation for safety and innovation is well known in the industry, and I look forward to working with the talented team here to further strengthen maintenance operations and ensure the highest standards of airworthiness and service for our clients.”
