Our Founder

Carlos Juan Seliman

Prior to forming Palm Tree Jets, Carlos got his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics at Florida International University (Class of Summer 2014), and had his first working experiences in diverse fields, such as sales, operations in wealth management and in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). His passion for aircrafts was with him all along.

“Every time I drove by FLL and OPF, I would slow down just to look at the planes on the ramp. I was clueless of how dynamic this industry is though. I got deeply involved very quickly and unexpectedly.”

In the beginning of 2019, he entered the air charter industry as a Quote Analyst, at an operator in the Caribbean. It was a trainee position, as more tails were being added to that fleet. His passion for the environment made it easier for him to grow quickly. Carlos would stay in the hangars after his working hours, just to help out in any of the other departments, while learning how everything works. As he gained experience, he decided that he wanted long-term commitment in this industry. He moved on to be a Sales Associate in 2021 at an operator in South Florida, which is one of the melting pots of business aviation. With all the knowledge he gained and eagerness to improve air charter services, he went on to start Palm Tree Jets in 2024.

Carlos currently lives in Miami. He enjoys motorsports, outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.
