He obtained his pilot licenses and competed in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association winning the prestigious Top Pilot award in many events. Johnson held several internships in various companies and agencies including Trans World Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration.

In 2003 Johnson was hired by a Great Britain based charter firm to build and oversee their US operations. Jason influences and credits to that company are still seen there today.

Johnson Co-Founded ECS in 2005 and was responsible for the business development and strategic vision of ECS, and has ushered in a number of industry-leading initiatives.

In 2002, Jerry began his aviation career in Long Island, NY. He was with Talon Air Jets selling Jet Time hours on their managed fleet of Hawker 400’S, Hawker 800’s and Gulfstream IV’s. He learned the nuts and bolts of executive aviation alongside a talented group of Operations Managers and Dispatch Coordinators. In an effort to learn a different side of the aviation industry, Jerry moved to an upstart charter brokerage company in New York City called Halcyon Jet. While at Halcyon, he sold worldwide jet charters in all types of aircraft. After several years with Halcyon, he accepted an opportunity with Exclusive Charter Service (ECS Jets) to continue his aviation brokerage business and be closer to his home in Long Island, NY. It’s was during my time with ECS that I put together a charter operator business and launched Custom Jet Charters “CJC.” The businesses were designed to complement each other and work hand in hand.

Currently, Jerry oversees charter sales for “CJC” on our growing managed fleet of aircraft while maintaining my brokerage business with ECS Jets. He lives on the South Shore of Boston with his wife Stacee and 3 kids – Makinlee, Mclaine, Fox.
