BOC Aviation has appointed Yogesh Farswani as its head of OEM strategy and procurement, effective July 1, 2025.
In his new role, he will assume responsibility for the procurement department, in addition to existing responsibilities for engines, encompassing aircraft and engine procurement as well as its wider OEM engagement activities. He will continue to report to the company's chief operating officer Thomas Chandler.
Farswani assumes the role from Alistair Grieg, who retired on June 30, 2025.
“Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Alistair for his 22 years of dedication to growing our fleet, which now exceeds 800 owned, managed and on order aircraft," said BOC Aviation CEO and managing director Steven Townend. "With over 29 years of experience in the aviation industry, Yogesh will continue to drive portfolio growth and enhance our key relationships with the OEMs. As we enter a new phase of fleet expansion, Yogesh’s experience will ensure that we continue to achieve our growth ambitions.”
Farswani joined BOC Aviation in May 2024 to lead the newly established engines department as head of engines. Prior to that, he held various roles at Pratt & Whitney in China.
