Alton Aviation Consultancy has expanded to London as it continues to grow its international presence.
The consultancy firm also has offices in New York, Dublin, Dubai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore, and Tokyo.
“Expanding our presence to London gives Alton a stronger foothold in Europe, one of the most dynamic aviation markets worldwide,” said Adam Cowburn, co-founder and managing director of Alton.
The London expansion will be led by Augusto Viansson Ponte, who joins Alton as director. He brings over 25 years of international aviation advisory experience to his role.
Ponte said: “The London presence further enhances the firm’s ability to offer on-the-ground support to clients across the aviation value chain, including airlines, lessors, MRO providers, investors, airports, and OEMs.”
Prior to Alton, Ponte served as director of strategy and planning at Airline Management Group (AMG), and previously worked at major consultancies including L.E.K. Consulting and AlixPartners.
