Ameriflight has appointed David Harvey as its president and chief executive, the regional US cargo airline confirmed in a report by Air Cargo News.

Harvey takes the top job at one of the largest Part 135 cargo carriers in the United States, an operator whose feeder and scheduled freight flying has long anchored overnight network lift for integrators and freight forwarders across North America.

The appointment puts a single executive in both the president and chief executive roles, consolidating leadership of the carrier at a time when outsourced feeder capacity remains central to integrator network economics.

Ameriflight has not, according to the report, disclosed further details of the transition — including Harvey's prior roles, his predecessor, or the effective date of the change. The company also has not outlined any strategic shifts accompanying the appointment.

What the move does establish is the identity of the executive now accountable for the carrier's operations, fleet and customer relationships. Further detail on Harvey's background and the circumstances of the appointment is expected to follow as Ameriflight briefs customers and industry media.
