Selected examples of advisory engagements and outcomes.
A major aviation investment fund required the selection, negotiation, and acquisition of a multi-type commercial aircraft portfolio to support its airline investments across multiple jurisdictions.
Led the hard-asset practice end-to-end: fleet type selection and specification, OEM and lessor negotiations, pricing and escalation analysis, delivery scheduling, and entry-into-service planning across the portfolio.
Delivered US$600M+ in savings across an initial US$1.7B asset acquisition programme. Established the acquisition framework and negotiation methodology used across all subsequent fleet transactions.
The Philippines' largest low-cost carrier needed to expand and modernise its fleet across narrowbody, widebody, and regional turboprop operations to support aggressive growth and the establishment of long-haul international services.
Led selection, definition, contract negotiation, and entry-into-service planning for Airbus A320/A321ceo/neo, Airbus A330-300/900, ATR72-600, and ATR72 freighter conversion programmes. Managed complex procurement processes with aggressive timelines.
Successfully introduced US$4B+ in new assets, with key procurement processes completed in under four months from launch. The fleet programme supported the carrier's long-haul establishment and continued domestic growth.
A major Asia-Pacific carrier was included on the European Union's aviation safety list, restricting its ability to operate to European destinations and damaging its international reputation.
Engaged as Operations Safety Consultant to design and lead the comprehensive operational improvement programme required for removal from the list, working across safety management systems, operational procedures, regulatory engagement, and crew training.
Successfully removed from the EU aviation safety list. The safety governance improvements became the foundation for subsequent IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) accreditation — the carrier's first.
A major carrier's insurance premiums reflected historic risk perceptions rather than the genuine risk maturity the organisation had achieved through its enterprise risk transformation.
Led the insurance renegotiation process, presenting the carrier's improved safety governance, enterprise risk framework, IOSA accreditation, and operational performance data to insurers as evidence of reduced risk exposure.
Achieved a premium reduction of more than 50% — translating enterprise risk investment into direct, measurable financial returns.
Every engagement is different, but the fundamentals are the same: deep aviation knowledge, rigorous analysis, and outcomes that matter. Let's discuss how I can help.
