Q: Tell us about the journey of AirFleet Managers. How it started and what was the vision?
A: At this stage, I would like to give the background of the founding members, Pallavi Joshi (CEO) and Myself (Technical Director). Pallavi comes from an AME background and has worked with various airlines in quality and engineering departments, I hold FAA Licence and have worked with various operators around the world as a qualified engineer working on a wide variety of aircraft i.e.B737, B747, B757, B767, MD10, MD11 L1011 to name a few.
Our journey as AirFleet Managers started in the year 2010 when we wanted to establish something in India after our 14year-long tenure in at foreign land. With a futuristic vision of Pallavi Joshi who sensed the vacuum in the market at that time for the Technical Consultancy Services. During those years (2010/11), we realised that there is a real dearth of quality Technical Consultancy Service providers in India in the field of Aviation Asset Management. The technical consultancy field was predominated by foreign nationals and there were not many people from our country who were involved during that period. Lessors were facing great difficulties in finding local consultants and positioning someone from Europe or America was a huge cost to them. Being an ever-growing aviation market, there was potential for more aircraft entering into service in India and the demand for local companies to provide professional services was sensed.
With the thought of supporting lessors by providing them solutions which will be as per industry standards and cost-effective, AirFleet Managers came into existence. The journey started with me working, on the technical side as a Technical Consultant and Pallavi taking care of all the finances and contracts/agreements.
