Houston, TX — EMCJET, a leading global aircraft brokerage and aviation advisory firm, is pleased to announce the appointment of Luc Benninga as Vice President of Europe, reinforcing the firm’s continued international expansion and commitment to best-in-class client service.
Luc developed a lifelong passion for aviation that led him to earn a degree in Aerospace Engineering. He began his career at Gulfstream Aerospace, where he rose to Senior Sales Manager, overseeing more than 100 aircraft across Europe with a primary focus on large-cabin, long-range business jets.
Following his tenure at Gulfstream, Luc transitioned into direct aircraft sales and fractional aviation, where he built a strong reputation for sophisticated dealmaking, strategic advisory, and exceptional client service. He is widely recognized for maximizing asset value and delivering a seamless, highly personalized experience throughout every stage of the aircraft ownership lifecycle.
In his new role, Luc will lead EMCJET’s European operations, expanding the firm’s presence across key markets while advising aircraft owners, operators, and corporate clients on acquisitions, dispositions, and fleet strategy.
“Luc brings an exceptional combination of technical expertise, global market knowledge, and relationship-driven execution,” said Memo Montemayor, Founder & CEO of EMCJET. “His background at Gulfstream and success in high-level transactions across Europe make him a perfect fit as we continue to grow our international platform.”
Luc will be based in Europe and will work closely with EMCJET’s global sales, research, and marketing teams to support the firm’s rapidly expanding international client base.
Outside of work, Luc enjoys staying active and spending time at the coast with his young family.
