Synergy Aviation of Fairoaks, UK, has welcomed two experienced business aviation professionals to its board of directors: former executive VP of Qatar Executive Dave Edwards, and ex-MD for Gama Aviation Europe Tom Wells. MD Glen Heavens says: “After 12 years of growing Synergy Aviation into an established jet and turboprop management company and aircraft operator I'm thrilled to welcome Dave and Tom into the business. Both have significant track records in our industry and have repeatedly delivered growth across the spectrum of business aviation services.”

Edwards adds: “Glen and his team deserve significant praise for the success they have made of Synergy during incredibly tough trading conditions around the globe. This move has been a long time coming; I first started flying with Glen 16 years ago. Tom and I worked together for 13 years too. This came together at the right time for us all to join our individual strengths in one company to provide a fully bespoke aircraft management product for owners.

“The challenge now will be to steer the company towards the heavier jets, which is where mine and Tom's careers have always been. We firmly believe that if you own a 50 or 60 million dollar asset, you want it to be managed by someone who knows you and your aircraft individually. ”
