Jason Johnson, Owning partner, President
At the young age of 15, Jason entered the aviation industry fueling airplanes and working line service. He graduated from Dowling College with a B.S. in Aeronautics and is a commercial pilot. He is an Alumni of Alpha Eta Rho (an international professional aviation fraternity) and the Dowling Precision Flight Team. After graduation, he began training with TWA to fly the Boeing 727 and 747. Although it was an amazing experience for Jason it was not what his heart was set on. There was always a lingering thought about running and owning an airline. After a few years in a London-based private jet firm, Jason was determined to make a difference in the world of private air travel. With the help of a long time friend, Exclusive Charter Service was born. It was not a coincidence that the location chosen for the office was the same airport that Jason did his first solo flight. Now that ECS has had several successful years in business his proudest moment is being honored at the living Legend’s of Aviation by none other than John Travolta for donating a GV and being the first non-military aircraft to bring aid during the devastating earth quake in Haiti. Jason explained that “although we are just a part of the puzzle we are a crucial piece that brings help in times of crisis or a father home to their family”! Jason is proud to make such a difference in the world of aviation. He believes in his team and has goals as high as the stars there is no question that ECS has proven to be a fixture in the jet charter industry. With goals as ambitious as a private supersonic fleet, there seems to be little variation between what Jason imagines, and what ECS accomplishes!
Adam Klein, Owning partner, CFO
When you look up the word "backbone" in the dictionary, it should read "Adam Klein". Adam owned and managed several successful businesses in the technology sector, including running the entire technology sector for one of the world’s largest banks. Then he owned his own firm.
Adam’s interest in the aviation industry was a catalyst for Adam to become one of the owning partners of ECS, since technology and aviation go hand-in-hand. Adam has now taken up flight lessons and his passion for aviation is growing.
If managing the day-to-day operations of the flight department isn’t enough, Adam also heads our yacht charter division. He supports many charities through ECS, including the Make a Wish Foundation, Extreme Makeover, Angel Flight, and local charities. Adam’s fascination with the private aviation market place is obvious and his dedication bears its fruit as ECS has grown tremendously. In the past 2 years, the company’s annual revenue has tripled. We are privileged to have him on our team.
Jason and Adam seem like the perfect formula to a superior organization within the Charter Industry. Together they are unstoppable. It is this cumulative force that has put ECS on the map. The team now has many employees, all who have their own great stories and all make up the true essence of what they stand for. Feel free to call the office any time to speak directly to the owners. Our door is always open and we are happy to be of service.
