Board of Directors

CHAIRMAN AND FOUNDER

John Matthews

Driven by a lifelong passion for aviation, John B. Matthews, Chairman and Founder of AirX, began his career at just 18, trading aircraft washing for flying lessons and quickly earning his pilot’s license. By 19, he had established his first MRO aviation business, laying the foundation for a remarkable journey in the industry spanning over two decades.

In 2011, John took the helm at AirX, transforming the company from near administration with €8 million in sales into a €150 million leader in private aviation by the end of 2024. Achieving a 26% CAGR, he expanded the team from 11 to over 400 employees and eliminated substantial debt unaided. With a forecast of €205 million in sales, €41 million in EBITDA, and €17 million in cash generation for 2025, AirX is poised for continued success with John’s entrepreneurial vision and commitment to operational excellence.
