Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG) has announced the appointment of Pfizer Senior HR Director Eileen O’Riordan and the AAG Chief Executive Shane O’Neill to its board of directors.
The company has also announced the acquisition of Flybe’s former aviation maintenance services operations (FAS) at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England.
AAG is one of Europe’s leading independent aviation organisations offering services in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Aircraft Modifications, Continuous Airworthiness Management and Aviation Training.
Atlantic Aviation Group Chief Executive Officer, Shane O’Neill, commented:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome someone of Eileen’s exceptional calibre to the board of AAG. Eileen’s extensive human resource experience will be invaluable at this pivotal moment in our business as we focus on becoming an increasingly customer-centric and people-focused organisation. I am confident that her considerable insight and knowledge will hugely benefit our business. I look forward to working with Eileen as we continually develop and execute our plans for AAG”.
Mr O’Neill said he was also pleased to announce that AAG has also completed the acquisition of AAG Defence Services, formerly Flybe Aviation Services (FAS), at Brize Norton. In 2014, FAS entered a contract with Airbus to provide Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services for the RAF’s fleet of A400m aircraft.
Mr. O’Neill added: “This acquisition will further enhance our capabilities to service clients in the UK and Europe. AAG Defence Services employs 112 highly-skilled engineers and management team, of whom we look forward to working with along with our customer, Airbus.”
