Item 5.02         Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 5, 2022, the board of directors of Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Samuel Goldstein, age 44 to serve as president, chief executive officer, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, effective immediately. Mr. Goldstein has served as a director of the Company since September 21, 2018 and has been serving as our acting principal executive officer since March 26, 2021. Also on July 5 2022, the Company, as the sole stockholder of its fully owned subsidiary FBO Air-Garden City, Inc., (the “Subsidiary”) appointed Mr. Goldstein to serve as the director of the Subsidiary, effective immediately. The board of directors of the Subsidiary, upon the Company’s recommendation, appointed Mr. Goldstein as president, chief executive officer, and secretary of the Subsidiary, effective July 5, 2022. In early 2019, Mr. Goldstein joined Marino, a leading strategic communications firm with offices in New York and Los Angeles, where he is a Senior Director with Marino’s Land Use Public Policy unit. Mr. Goldstein served as Deputy Director of the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council (“HTJC”) from 2014 to 2019. Mr. Goldstein was also a principal at Kivvit Public Affairs from 2017 to 2018 and served previously as the director of government relations for Air Pegasus, from 2013 to 2016, and for Selfhelp Community Services, one of New York’s largest senior housing and social service organizations, from 2008 to 2013.

The Company believes Mr. Goldstein’s exposure and outreach skills acquired during his time as Deputy Director of the Helicopter Tourism and Jobs Council, along with his knowledge of the local helicopter marketplace, enable Mr. Goldstein to advise the Subsidiary and Company on potential courses of action.

Mr. Goldstein was not appointed to these positions pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person and has no family relationships between any directors or executive officers of the Company. Neither Mr. Goldstein nor any of his immediate family has been a party to any transaction with the Company, nor is any such transaction currently proposed, that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
