Aircraft, engines and landing gears trading, leasing, and part-out company, APOC Aviation, has appointed Hardi Jamil as Sales Manager for Asia.

It comes at a time when the company is expanding its operations in Asia so that it can serve the region’s expected aviation sector growth.

APOC has had a presence in Asia since 2021 when it launched a new warehouse facility in Singapore; the first of their stock-hubs of modern A320 family and B737 components to be opened outside of Europe.

The company states that now with a dedicated sales manager also based in Singapore, it will deliver a streamlined, faster service to customers in the area.

Jamil said: “I am truly excited to collaborate with such a talented team and contribute to APOC’s vision for success in the Asian region.”

Kevin Wall, chief commercial officer at APOC Aviation, said: “According to recent reports and industry forecasts, the aviation industry in Asia is expected to see significant growth in the coming years, driven by factors such as expanding economic development, proliferation of low-cost carriers, increasing middle class, and rising disposable income.

“In line with this, the used serviceable material market for the Asian aviation industry is also expected to grow in the coming years, due to the increasing demand for replacement parts and maintenance services for ageing aircraft fleet and low-cost carrier activity across the region. Some studies estimate that the aviation market in Asia will build at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6-7 per cent from 2021 to 2026.”

“APOC is expanding our operations and personnel in the region now, to ensure we have the resources and capacity to support the local market with the innovative and comprehensive parts provision solutions we are known for.”
