The CEO of ABS Jets is once again on the Forbes list

Forbes magazine has published its prestigious TOP CEO ranking for 2026. This year, the jury selected the most inspiring business leaders in Czechia from a longlist of 250 names. Only twenty-six CEOs from companies across a range of industries made the final ranking, including Jan Králík, CEO of ABS Jets. This is the second consecutive year that ABS Jets has been represented in the TOP CEO ranking.

To be eligible, candidates had to have held their position for at least one year, lead a company with annual revenue exceeding three billion Czech crowns, and own no more than a 33 percent stake in the company. Forbes focused primarily on managers rather than majority owners, as entrepreneurs and business owners are covered by other rankings. The jury also considered significant recent milestones such as acquisitions, new construction projects, and major contracts. Candidates were assessed on their approach to employees, their communities, and society as a whole. Forbes also examined current leadership topics, including managing a company in uncertain times and AI strategy. The assessment further considered the extent to which the candidates innovate and their actual contribution to the development of their company and industry.

Jan Králík is delighted to have been included in the Forbes ranking, but also sees it as a commitment for the future. “I greatly appreciate this recognition, especially as it is the second year in a row. For me, it represents a commitment to our clients and employees going forward,” he says.

The awards ceremony will take place during the Forbes TOP CEO gala evening at the Rudolfinum in Prague on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
