Under Herp’s leadership, Linear Air has transformed how both individuals and businesses buy private air travel. Linear Air does not require membership or long-term commitments and provides transparent prices immediately, similar to public commercial flights.
Herp shared, “It has been an incredible honor to lead Linear Air through so many phases of growth and change. As I transition into the role of Chairman, I am confident that Justin Nihon’s combined understanding of private aviation, enterprise technology, and customer experience will ensure Linear Air continues to evolve and service our customers in new and innovative ways. I couldn’t be more excited about Linear Air’s future.”

Nihon has accumulated more than a decade of leadership experience at major global technology firms, including Amazon Web Services and Oracle, where he worked in pivotal roles that drove software adoption, market development, and customer success.
“I am honored to return to Linear Air and build on the incredible foundation that Bill and the team have created. Since my time as Sales & Marketing Manager at Linear Air earlier in my career, the aviation space has captivated me,” said Nihon. “Private aviation is evolving, and with the growing demand for in-person work and experiences, Linear Air is uniquely positioned to lead and accelerate the transformation of air travel.”
As Chairman, Herp will continue to play an active role in guiding the company’s strategic direction and mentorship. Nihon’s appointment underscores Linear Air’s commitment to growth and innovation within private aviation.
