Metrojet Limited, a provider of business aviation services in the Asia-Pacific region, announced the retirement of its CEO, Gary Dolski, effective Jan. 1, 2025. Dave Yip, the company’s COO, will assume the role of acting CEO on the same date.
Dolski joined Metrojet in April 2017 as managing director of aircraft management and charter and was appointed CEO later that year. Over his tenure, he spearheaded key initiatives, including the development of the Metrojet Engineering Clark maintenance and hangar facility in the Philippines and the expansion of Metrojet’s MRO operations in both Hong Kong and Clark. His leadership was instrumental in guiding the company through challenging periods, such as the global pandemic and regional geopolitical disruptions.
Dave Yip brings more than 20 years of experience in commercial and business aviation to his new role. With a strong background in aircraft management and maintenance, Yip’s leadership is expected to support Metrojet’s growth and innovation objectives.
“Dave’s expertise and vision will be instrumental as we continue to expand our services and deliver exceptional value to our aircraft management and maintenance clients,” said Metrojet vice chairman David Tong.
Established in 1997, Metrojet offers aircraft management, charter, maintenance, and consultancy services.
