Global Crossing Airlines Appoints David Sandberg to Board; McArtor Resigns

What Happened
Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (JETMF) filed an 8-K reporting that longtime director T. Allan McArtor resigned from the Board effective August 14, 2026. Mr. McArtor will remain with the company as Senior Advisor to the Executive Chairman. Separately, the Board appointed David Sandberg as a director effective August 11, 2026; his term runs until the company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

Key Details

• T. Allan McArtor resigned from the Board effective August 14, 2026 but will continue with the company as Senior Advisor to the Executive Chairman.
• David Sandberg, age 54, was appointed to the Board effective August 11, 2026; he founded Red Oak Partners, LLC in 2003 and currently serves as its Chief Investment Officer.
• Mr. Sandberg may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by The Red Oak Fund, L.P. and The Red Oak Long Fund, L.P., as disclosed in a Schedule 13D/A filed November 12, 2025.
• Committee assignments for Mr. Sandberg have not yet been determined; his non-employee director pay will follow the company’s existing director compensation program (see the Oct 28, 2025 proxy).

Why It Matters
Board changes can affect company oversight and investor governance dynamics. McArtor’s shift to a senior advisory role signals continuity in leadership input, while Sandberg’s appointment brings an experienced investor linked to Red Oak Partners—an existing shareholder—onto the Board. Investors should note the connection to Red Oak’s holdings (per prior Schedule 13D/A) and that Sandberg’s formal committee roles and any material changes in ownership or compensation will be disclosed in future filings.
