Meet Nick
Nick Schneider’s aviation career began at Beech Aircraft Corporation where he spent 10 years and ultimately served as Vice President of International Sales. Nearly three decades ago, Nick brought that extensive industry experience to Boca Raton, Florida, where he founded Global Wings, LLC.
As Founder and CEO of Global Wings, Nick has built a career spanning aircraft sales, corporate aircraft management, and aircraft charter. His expertise extends beyond transactions to the operational and management aspects of private aviation. Nick was also a co-founder of Million Air San Juan, one of Million Air’s first international FBO locations, further expanding his experience in aviation operations and management.
Nick is an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) with type ratings in multiple jet and turboprop aircraft, including the Embraer Praetor series, Hawker 4000, Premier 1A, Hawker series, Learjet 60, and King Air 300/350. With thousands of hours in the cockpit and experience as an aircraft owner, Nick brings a unique perspective to every aspect of aviation. This firsthand experience allows him to understand the needs of aircraft owners while also appreciating the operational realities faced by pilots and flight crews. His philosophy is rooted in a simple principle: deliver exceptional service with honesty and the highest levels of integrity.
For more than 25 years, Nick has served multiple terms on the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) Board of Directors, most recently as Treasurer. He is also actively involved in supporting charitable organizations, including the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation, and as a National Council Member for Jazz Aspen Snowmass.
Outside of aviation, Nick enjoys scuba diving, fishing, skiing, and hiking. He and his wife, Jennifer, along with their grown children, spend much of their free time enjoying the outdoors in Aspen, Colorado.
Nick holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M University and a Master of Business Administration from Virginia Tech University.
These opportunities and continued successes have led to Global Wings being one of the leading aircraft broker/dealers in the industry.
