SAC supported a South Asian operator (Bamboo Airways) to achieve its EASA TCO approval. Bamboo Airways intended to start scheduled service into Europe by March 26 but had to postpone due to COVID-19 in regard to their scheduled service. Bamboo was able and thankful to the EASA TCO approval to complete 2 repatriation flights in April for Vietnamese citizen out of Europe.
In the last newsletter we looked at the crisis-ridden commercial aviation sector and the players’ prospects for the coming months and years. While this sector will require 2-3 years to regain its strength the business aviation community is more optimistic about continuing demand and stable prices in case travel restrictions will be cut for the 2nd half of this year and COVID-19 will not see a threatening 2nd wave across the globe. The first region to open up and returning to the “new” old daily routines is East Asia. Reason enough to take a closer look.
Peter joined SAC on 01 May as CAMO Specialist and Aircraft Inspector, supporting SAC capacities within CAMO / Technical Services and Asset Management. He holds an EASA Part-66 Licence and a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Sciences.
The looking-glass world in times of Corona is asking for more breath than initially expected by most of us. While strict measures in Europe bring down infection rates the virus will stay with us for the rest of the year – and longer. We all have to find our ways to cope with the situation and adjust to new conditions. But we can manage by trusting longstanding business relations, becoming creative and communicating openly. The business world will have to become more modest and tolerant.
Swiss Aviation Consulting has been mandated by a major bank to be the CAMO / Isle of Man NATR for a Bombardier Global 6000 based in Southeast Asia. The aircraft has been repossessed by the bank and our technical and operational consulting team members were supporting the lender in facilitating a smooth transition of the aircraft, its records and all agreements attached to it.
Swiss Aviation Consulting has been mandated by a major financial institution to conduct a fleet portfolio valuation of 5 ATR 72 in 4 different locations in Indonesia: Jakarta, Semarang, Kalimantan, Bandung.
