Jakub Benke

Shareholder at Bartolini Air Regional, MCC Instructor, and Boeing 737 Captain at LOT Polish Airlines

Jakub previously served as the CEO of the Polish branch of Starcom MediaVest Group, a leading international media agency. While he initially began flying for recreation, his passion for aviation led him to pivot from his corporate career to become a professional pilot. Over the last 15 years, he has operated both business jets and airliners, including the Airbus A320, and currently serves as a Boeing 737 MAX/NG Captain at LOT Polish Airlines.

In addition to his flight experience, Jakub was the CEO of business jet operator Jet Story for nine years and co-founded Bartolini Air’s jet charter division, which now operates four light jets. He also serves as an instructor for Airline Pilot Standard Multi-Crew Cooperation (APS MCC) courses on the Boeing 737 simulator at Bartolini Air.
