EirTrade Aviation has promoted Steven Trowell to the position of Vice President-Technical. Trowell was the Hangar Manager and Accountable Manager with EirTrade Aviation Maintenance and was responsible for securing EASA Part 145 Line Maintenance approval for the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families of aircraft at the organisation’s facility in Ireland West Airport, Knock.
He was also supervising manager for EirTrade’s recent dismantling of two 787-800s in Prestwick.
Commenting on the appointment, Ken Fitzgibbon, chief executive, EirTrade Aviation said: “Steven joins our enthusiastic management line-up, and we welcome his technical expertise as we expand globally. Aircraft disassembly processes contribute to sustainable resource management by facilitating the recycling and reclamation of valuable materials from retired aircraft. This reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimises the environmental impact of disposal. We’ve invested in new capabilities at our engine disassembly facility in Dublin to encompass the CFM56-3 engine and unlocked new potential at our airframe disassembly and Part-145-line maintenance facility in Knock.”
