MHS Aviation, a subsidiary of Munich-based Aviation Investment, has appointed Andreas Otto as its md. The move comes in response to an increase in aircraft sales transactions over the last 18 months which has prompted former md Steffen Fries to concentrate on the financial and brokerage side of the business. Owner and founder Gerd Brandecker says: “We have completed 11 transactions over this period and see an increasing demand for one-stop solutions from purchase via finance to the operation of the aircraft,” he says.

Control of MHS as an operator will now pass to Otto, who says: “I am proud to continue the growth of MHS with a team of highly motivated experts. There are always challenges but with our flexibility, customer oriented organisation and financial strength I am convinced we shall build on the success achieved so far.”
