ABOUT ZACHARY DIGIOVANNI

 

Flexjet’s own Zach DiGiovanni is a Gulfstream G450 captain residing near Fort Worth, TX. Born in Ridgewood, NJ, growing up in Orlando, FL, Zach went on to graduate from the United States Naval Academy in 2009 with an Aerospace Engineering degree and a service assignment to Naval Aviator. He flew the T-6A Texan II, TH-57 Sea Ranger, and MH-60R Seahawk while serving active duty in the Navy. After active duty, Zach pursued corporate America with TIE Today and Oracle Corp before pursuing an RTP program through Coast Flight Training, leading to flying both Embraer 145 and 175 aircraft with Envoy Air.

Zach started with Flexjet in September 2021 as a Challenger 350 pilot, participating in numerous recruiting events across the country to help spread the word about Flexjet, in addition to assisting with candidate interviews on site in DFW, all within the first year with the company. In August 2022, Zach was invited to join a team of five pilots dedicated to one tail number on the Gulfstream G450 fleet, where he is currently a captain in the International Large Cabin program.

Besides flying, Zach’s biggest passion is family. He is joined by his wife, Olivia, and have welcomed a son and daughter into the world, along with three lovable dogs.
