Smart Aviation announced the launch of a new cargo chartering division, and cargo specialist Jos Jacobs joined Smart Aviation Head of Cargo and brings with him experience of over 15 years in cargo operations and global chartering roles.

"I am delighted to join Smart Aviation and to be setting up the cargo division from scratch within this accomplished business," says Jacobs. "Smart Aviation has a reputation for offering the highest quality of aircraft chartering and I am thrilled to now be a part of this highly respected team".

Mark Hawkins, Managing Director, Smart Aviation, adds: "Now is the perfect time for us as a business to be expanding our operation within cargo.
