Contrail Aviation names Stuart Weinroth as new CEO

Contrail Aviation Support, LLC, a business unit of Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRT), has named Stuart G. Weinroth as Chief Executive Officer, succeeding company founder Joe Kuhn, according to a company press release.

Weinroth brings more than 30 years of experience across the commercial aviation asset lifecycle, including roles as an airline operator, aircraft and engine lessor, and supplier to airlines and MROs. He joins Contrail from Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG), where he served as Global Head and Vice President of Commercial Operations and Acquisitions.

Earlier in his career, Weinroth held senior investment and executive finance roles at Metolius Aviation Capital, GA Telesis, GMT Global Republic Aviation, and Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, with experience spanning aircraft and engine trading, leasing, and capital markets across Boeing and Airbus platforms.

Kuhn co-founded Contrail in 2000 alongside Miriam Cohen-Kuhn. The company focuses on narrowbody engine and aircraft trading, leasing, and used serviceable material solutions, primarily serving the Boeing 737NG and Airbus A320 families.

"Stu is cut from that same cloth. He's spent thirty years creating value and expanding product and service offerings in ways others aren't looking, and we're confident he'll do the same for AirT and for Contrail's customers," said Nick Swenson, Chairman and CEO of Air T, Inc.

Contrail is headquartered in Verona, Wisconsin, with a satellite marketing presence in the United Kingdom, France, and China.
