Joramco has appointed Fraser Currie as its new chief executive officer, effective 1 October.

Currie joined Joramco in April 2018 as chief commercial officer, and has 38 years of aviation industry experience. Before joining Joramco, he served as chief executive officer at Bahrain-based cargo airline Texel Air.

Amman-based MRO provider Joramco is the engineering arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).

Currie succeeds Jeff Wilkinson, who is taking an expanded role at DAE Engineering to grow the engineering division’s footprint.

Commenting on his appointment, Currie said: “I am delighted to take the helm of such a competent and capable team. Joramco has gone through a very successful transformation over the past few years, and I am looking forward to developing the company further with a clear vision.

“I would also like to use this opportunity to thank Jeff Wilkinson for his years of commitment and strategic leadership to transform the operational cadence of Joramco and look forward to continue working with him as part of DAE’s wider engineering ambition.”

Wilkinson said: “I would like to congratulate Fraser Currie on his appointment. Having worked closely together over the last years and significantly growing the revenue and customer base, I am confident that Fraser will lead Joramco into its next phase of growth.”
