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.

Former Alenia executive Carlo Logli (senior vice president of strategies and business development) replaced Alessandro Franzoni as CEO of <a href="?q=node/27731">Superjet International</a> as part of a management shakeup that saw Franzoni move to Alenia Aermacchi to become its chief operating officer. Meanwhile, Alenia Aermacchi CEO Carmelo Cosentino replaced Amedeo Caporaletti as Superjet International’s chairman of the board. 
 A Superjet International spokesperson told AIN that the changes reflected parent company Finmeccanica’s practice of periodically alternating top managers within its aeronautics division. “It was a natural decision,” she said. “No hidden reasons.” 
 Superjet International, which is the main customer support and sales representative for the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft-built Superjet SSJ100, recently failed to secure an expected order for the new regional jets from Alitalia, whose board last month instead issued approval for management to lease a mix of 14 Embraer 170s and 190s. Sukhoi expects Russian certification for the SSJ100 this month and EASA approval in the second quarter of the year.
