George Wozniak has been named CEO of the Nashville-based Ryan Aviation Group.

Wozniak joined the team of the private luxury aviation travel company in 2020, and oversees key aspects of private charter operations and business growth, most recently serving as Vice President.

“Promoting George to CEO is such a fulfilling moment in my career and the growth of this company,” says Dan Ryan, owner of Ryan Aviation Group. “Back in 2020, I bet on a guy with zero aviation experience, who packed up his life and came to Nashville to chase something bigger with us. Since then, we’ve grown exponentially — not just because he’s an incredible operator, but because he’s an even better human. George leads with kindness, remembers every name and every story — from pilots to their families — and outworks everyone in the room.

“It was always kind of the plan to have him take the helm, just not this fast,” he continues.”He earned it two years ahead of schedule. This isn’t just a promotion — it’s a continuation of the vision we built together. I couldn’t be more confident in where he’ll take us next.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities Ryan Aviation Group has given me and my family over the past five years,” says Wozniak. “That journey continues as I step into this new role, leading our exceptional team in delivering world-class service to our valued clients in close collaboration with our trusted partners, all of whom I’m proud to call friends. I’m deeply appreciative of this moment and energized by a future full of possibility that remains limitless.”

Founded in 2017, Ryan Aviation Group provides specialist private travel services as a global jet company serving its broad roster of clients across multiple industries.
