Airlines
AviaSolutions works on behalf of full service, low cost and regional airlines, primarily on the strategic, commercial and financial areas of the business. We work with both established airlines and start ups. Our support can help airlines identify the right strategy. We assist in securing finance for expansion, and develop detailed, robust business plans for airlines.

We also provide services to airline shareholders, potential investors and debt providers, reviewing airline strategy and business plans.

We recognise that what works well for one airline or in one geographic market may not be appropriate elsewhere. We look at each airline with a fresh perspective, rather than putting forward standard solutions.

Our core team of aviation professionals is supported by a range of senior associates. Our associates provide specialist expertise in the areas such as cargo, regulation, interim management as well as in depth knowledge of the airline industry in Africa, the Caribbean and North America.
