Dublin-based Avia Solutions Group has launched its Global Services Philippines centre in Manila.
The new centre will focus on supporting the technical and flight operations of Avia Solutions Group airlines and MRO organisations. The centre will also contribute to corporate services across the company's subsidiaries.
“The group chose the Philippines for several key reasons, including its deep and highly skilled talent pool and strategic location,” said Avia Solutions Group CEO Jonas Janukenas. "South-East Asia has the world’s fastest-growing air travel market, with Boeing forecasting 8% annual traffic growth over the next 20 years. Therefore, it is one of the regions where the Group sees the greatest expansion potential, including plans to secure its air operator certificate (AOC) in the Philippines.
The company appointed Fernando Bernardo Beluan as the CEO of the centre. He has over 15 years of global experience and will oversee centre operations and lead the team.
