Airline Services Group Information

For over 30 years, Airline Services has established its position as a market leader in providing aircraft presentation and cabin interior support services to the airline industry. During the mid-eighties/ 1990s, Airline Services developed a solid reputation for service and value for money by offering a flexible, reliable, innovative and low-cost service for exterior washing and technical cleaning, as well as engineering support. These initial services were boosted by a seat cover and curtain shop. The company expanded rapidly with expansion of the Manchester facilities, and the opening of a number of other UK bases at major and regional airports providing a range of ramp-based services. During this period Airline Services also successfully expanded into aircraft de-icing at a number of UK airports. From 2000, the company expanded its EASA Part 145 approved Engineering and Workshop business. These services were backed up by the establishment of a Materials Purchasing and Logistics team and a Design office with EASA Part 21 J and G approval. 2015 – two new distinct divisions were created – Airline Services Interiors and Handling. Each of these divisions has their own business managers. Airline Services Interiors – headed by Managing Director Richard Dobson, the newly dedicated Interiors portfolio comprises three market focused capabilities – Managed Solutions, providing turnkey programmes for customers who are looking to rebrand or customise their aircraft; Engineered Products portfolio covering our parts manufacturing activities including soft furnishings; and Through Life Support, providing a range of traditional repair and maintenance Airline Services Handling –headed by Managing Director Nigel Daniel, is also split into three product streams designed to offer a fully integrated “one stop shop”– De-icing; Ground Handling and Aircraft Presentation.
