Avia Solutions Group, an aviation firm, has relocated its headquarters to Dublin.
The company stated that it expects to employ up to 50 experts from a variety of sectors at the office, which is situated in Central Park in Leopardstown.
Avia offers crew, maintenance, insurance, and aircraft leasing.
It owns a fleet of 173 aircraft and provides airlines including Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, Norwegian, and Lufthansa aviation services like passenger and cargo aircraft wet leasing, MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul), ground handling, recruitment services, and pilot and crew training.
The firm claimed that, behind Ryanair, it is now the second-largest Irish-registered aviation company.
The Avia Solutions Group employs more than 11,000 employees and has more than 100 offices throughout the world. They transport about six million passengers a year.
“Moving the company’s controlling headquarters to Ireland is a strategically important step for us in terms of our further development plans,” said Jonas Janukenas, CEO of Avia Solutions Group.
“Ireland is known as a global aviation hub. 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,” Mr Janukenas said.
