Israel Slodowitz
Israel Slodowitz is the founder and CEO of Craft Charter, a Part 135 private aviation operator he established in 2020 after graduating from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. He is best known for creating the Craft Aviation Exchange Fund, a 721 exchange fund that allows investors to contribute concentrated stock positions in exchange for a diversified portfolio while gaining access to private aviation. He leads a fleet of Bombardier Challenger and Gulfstream aircraft based primarily in Las Vegas and Opa-Locka, Florida, serving both wholesale charter markets and supplemental lift for major fractional operators.
“What we did was we took an already existing thriving operating cashflow business and we basically layered an exchange fund on top of that. And what that allows us to do is it allows us to offer the members in the fund access, premium access to these planes they wouldn't be able to get otherwise.”
