Tom Cyr Joins Guardian Jet as VP, to Serve Upper Midwestern U.S. Client Base
Guilford, CT—June 14, 2023—Guardian Jet LLC (guardianjet.com), the world leader in aircraft brokerage, appraisals and consulting, today announced the appointment of Tom Cyr as Vice President, Upper Midwestern US. In his new position, Cyr is responsible for developing and managing Guardian Jet's client base in several midwestern U.S. states.
Cyr, who most recently headed up business development for Jet Support Services Inc., based in Chicago, Illinois, has built a long and distinguished career in aviation.
Michael “Doc” Dwyer, Guardian Jet’s President, who announced Cyr’s appointment, said he is highly gratified to have him join the Guardian Jet team. “Throughout Tom’s long career in a broad range of business aviation roles, he’s proven himself to be a consummate industry professional, so I’m delighted he’s going to be filling such a critical role in our organization. I have no doubt that Tom will take charge of our upper midwestern market with the same skill and enthusiasm he’s demonstrated in so many other positions.”
Cyr began his business aviation career in the early 1980s, when he worked as an A&P technician for Kaman Aerospace. He later moved to Van Dusen Turbine Products and then to Pratt & Whitney, Canada, where he was promoted from Field Technical Representative to Technical Sales Representative for the Midwest US.
In the 1990s, he expanded his sales-focused work, serving as a Regional Sales Manager for Airwork, the global turbine engine specialist provider. He then moved to Raytheon Aircraft, where he focused on engine consulting and airframe MRO, later returning to Airwork as Program Manager and National Sales Manager. He then moved to Standard Aero and, subsequently, to Central Flying Service, where he served as its Director of Sales.
In 2008, Cyr accepted a position with Jet Support Services, Inc., serving as its Director of Business Development. In that role, he was responsible for managing engine and airframe program sales and client relationships for an 11-state Midwest region. His clients included a wide range of corporations, aircraft management companies, fractional providers, brokerages and private individuals.
Cyr is a 1982 graduate of East Coast Aero Technical Institute, in Lexington, Massachusetts.
