Londonderry, NH – Pro Star Aviation is pleased to announce the appointment of Jesse Laughlin as Vice President, reflecting the continued alignment between Pro Star Aviation and Northeast Air, where Laughlin has served as President since 2024. In this role, Laughlin will work closely with Managing Partner Kevin Harriman to support strategic execution across the organization.

Laughlin brings a combination of leadership experience and practical aviation knowledge to the role. A graduate of Bates College and a commercial pilot, he has held a leadership role at Northeast Air for the past several years. The company serves as the primary fixed base operation at Portland International Jetport, where Laughlin has overseen a complex aviation environment in close coordination with Pro Star Aviation. 

“Jesse has already been an integral part of the broader Pro Star Aviation organization through his leadership at Northeast Air,” says Harriman. “This expanded role is a natural progression, and his perspective as both a leader and a pilot positions him well to support continued alignment and execution across the company.”

Moving forward, Laughlin will remain actively involved across all three of Pro Star Aviation’s strategic locations, helping to ensure consistency throughout the organization. His appointment reflects the company’s continued investment in experienced leadership to support long-term growth. 

“I’m excited to continue growing with the Pro Star team at a time of such momentum,” says Laughlin. “The company has built a strong reputation for quality and innovation, and I look forward to supporting its continued success and working alongside a talented group of industry professionals.”
