Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

NextJet of Sollentuna, Sweden, has acquired three 68-seat BAE Systems ATP turboprops and plans to start flying them late this month in scheduled service between small northern communities and the capital Stockholm. Under a new three-year Public Service Obligation contract starting October 25, NextJet will fly the British turboprops on routes linking the Swedish towns of Arvidsjaur and Lycksele to Stockholm Arlanda Airport; from Gallivare to Arlanda; and from Hemavan and Vilhelmina to Arlanda.
NextJet subleases the airplanes from established ATP operator West Air Sweden, which has agreed to maintain the turboprops and support the NextJet operation. NextJet now flies a 19-seat Beech 1900D and 34-seat Saab 340A on a number of domestic routes and to Copenhagen from Orebro, Sweden. It also flies a Cessna 560XL on air taxi and executive charter flights.
