Avia Solutions Group (ASG), the world's leading provider of ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) services, has opened its new Global Services Center in the Philippines. With this strategic move, the Dublin-based company is further expanding its presence in Southeast Asia. The new facility in Manila will not only provide technical and operational support for the group's airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, but will also handle core corporate functions such as IT, payroll and finance.
The choice of the Philippines as the location for the new center is no coincidence. According to forecasts, the region is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world. An analysis by Boeing assumes that air traffic in Southeast Asia will grow by eight percent annually over the next twenty years. ASG sees great opportunities here and plans in the long term to obtain its own air operator license (Air Operator Certificate, AOC) in the Philippines.
Jonas Janukenas, CEO of Avia Solutions Group, emphasizes that the decision to choose the Philippines was primarily due to the highly qualified labor market and the favorable geographical location. With the expansion, the company wants to increase its operational efficiency and open up new markets.
leadership changes and new career opportunities
At the helm of the new service center will be Fernando Bernardo Beluan, a seasoned industry professional with over 15 years of international experience. He will manage the business activities and build the Philippine team. Beluan stresses the importance of the new facility to the local economy, pointing to the numerous jobs that will be created in the fields of engineering, IT and finance.
“The opening of this service center underscores Avia Solutions Group’s confidence in the capabilities of Filipino professionals and their role in the company’s global expansion,” said Beluan.
Bonifacio Global City: An attractive location for skilled workers
The new office is located in the Marajo Tower in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a modern business and financial center in Taguig City, Metro Manila. BGC has become a preferred location for international companies in recent years. The location not only offers modern infrastructure and a high quality of life, but also excellent public transport connections.
Employees benefit from a dynamic working environment with numerous shopping and leisure opportunities. Pedestrian-friendly streets and green areas such as Track 30th Park also offer space for relaxation and sporting activities.
The opening of Global Services Philippines marks an important milestone in Avia Solutions Group's global growth strategy. The company already has numerous subsidiaries and offers aviation services in more than 68 countries. The new location in Manila will enable ASG to optimize operational processes and strengthen its competitiveness in one of the most dynamic aviation markets in the world.
