Aviation giant moves to Ireland

[ March 1, 2023   //   ]

Avia Solutions Group has become an Irish-based company following the transfer of its controlling headquarters to Dublin. It also became the second largest Irish-registered aviation business behind Ryanair.

Avia Solutions Group says it is the world’s largest ACMI (aircraft leasing, maintenance and insurance) services group with a fleet of more than 165 aircraft. Its cargo activities include BBN Airlines Nordic, SmartLynx Airlines, and Magma Aviation, Arcus Air Logistic providing specialised air charter and Arcus OBC offering onboard courier services.

The group also provides services such as aircraft maintenance, pilot and crew training and ground handling.

Chief executive Jonas Janukenas said: “Moving the company’s controlling headquarters to Ireland was a strategically important step for us in terms of our further development plans. Ireland is known as the hub of aviation. A large number of aviation companies are located here, hence, being closer to the aviation community we will be able to implement the group’s development plans faster and maintain market leadership.”
