About SK-ETS &
Sarah Kiehl

I’m Sarah Kiehl, the founder of SK Executive Transportation Solutions (SK-ETS). For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of aviation, crisis management, and family assistance. What began as a career in aviation has grown into a calling: helping people through some of life’s most difficult and complex moments with calm, clarity, and compassion.

My path to this work is deeply personal. As a young adult, I lost three close friends in a plane crash. Watching their family struggle without structured support left a lasting mark on me. Years later, after building my career in executive aviation, I trained in family assistance and began serving families and organizations during crises. That experience shaped my belief that logistics and compassion are inseparable, that every detail matters when people are navigating grief, emergency travel, or high-stakes transitions.

With SK-ETS, I’ve brought together my background in aviation logistics and crisis response into a specialized service designed to give families, executives, and partners peace of mind. At the heart of SK-ETS is our proprietary CALM Framework™ (Crisis-Aligned Logistics Management), which provides structure and stability in uncertain times:

  • Confirm & Clarify – Listening and understanding what’s needed.

  • Assemble & Assess – Building a clear, tailored plan.

  • Lead & Liaise – Coordinating every step while keeping families informed.

  • Move & Memorialize – Bringing closure with respect and thoughtful handoff.

Whether it’s repatriation, executive travel coordination, or guiding families through complex international arrangements, my role is to carry the logistical weight so others can focus on what matters most.

At SK-ETS, our tagline is more than words: “Your journey, our mission.” Every case is handled with precision, dignity, and compassion—because in the moments when details matter most, calm and clarity are everything.
