Vallair, the mature aircraft asset specialist, has announced that François Fermaut has assumed the role of sales & business development manager for the Aerostructures and Engines divisions based in Châteauroux, France.
Fermaut will be responsible for expanding awareness of Vallair’s expert repair capabilities with a team that has grown from two technicians to a skilled workforce of 125 in the past eight years.
“This makes me very proud as I take on the challenging new role which encompasses our new engines shop,” said Fernaut.
“I have been in the aviation sector for more than 25 years and it is rewarding to see more and more opportunities as customers begin to recognise the cost advantages offered by Vallair’s total repair capability, aligned with AFRA accredited disassembly options all in one place.”
Vallair recently opened its engine shop offering a range of MRO services for CFM56 – 5A and -5B and V2500 series engines. Services include the disassembly and reassembly of modules; minor repairs & inspections; borescope inspections; preservation; leasing of engines, APUs and engine bays. Borescope capability will soon include Trent 700, PW 4000, CF6-80, Leap, and PW1100 engines.
Fermaut’s previous experience includes senior roles at SA Composité Industrie, Director of MRO Operations at RUAG Aerospace (Suisse), and Manager at Latécoère Aéroservice responsible for aerostructure composites and painting.
