Mansour Rasnavad

Beloved ISTAT member, Mansour Rasnavad, passed
away on 24 June 2013. Rasnavad was in the aviation industry for more than 30 years. Since 1996,
Rasnavad was the principle shareholder of Florida
West International Airlines. He was also president
and chief executive ofﬁcer since 2002.
Under Rasnavad’s leadership, Florida West overcame difﬁcult obstacles to become a successful,
proﬁtable and major player in the air cargo industry,
serving several Latin American markets with daily
services on a modern and efﬁcient ﬂeet.
Rasnavad began his aviation career in 1978 as
the executive vice president and later as chairman
of Global International Airways, a worldwide passenger and cargo charter carrier. From 1986 through
2000, Rasnavad was the president and co-founder of

Aviation Leasing Group, a global company specializing in leasing, purchasing and selling commercial
aircraft. In May 2003, he formed the MIA Airline
Cargo Consortium (MACC), a nonproﬁt organization
dedicated to solving security and cargo issues faced
by airlines at Miami International Airport.
Prior to entering aviation, he completed intense
executive training with the Citibank group in Greece.
Rasnavad became an international executive ofﬁcer for
Citibank, heading the credit division for private, corporate, project and asset-based ﬁnancing. He received
his Bachelor’s of Science degree in business administration and economics from George Mason University,
Washington D.C., in 1975. He was the recipient of the
Wright Brothers Award in 2007. Rasnavad is survived
by his wife and three children.
