एसटीएस एविएशन ग्रुप

STS Aviation Group is proud to announce several key leadership changes within its Service Engineering division… changes that reflect both the growth of our business and the commitment of our people. Each promotion underscores a simple truth: the future of aviation is built on the shoulders of dedicated engineers who lead with vision, discipline, and care.

Amber North: Sr. Manager, Service Engineering – AOG Services

Few areas in aviation demand more precision than AOG support. Aircraft on Ground events move fast, and operators need white-glove service without compromise. To meet this demand, Amber North has been promoted to Sr. Manager, Service Engineering – AOG Services. Amber’s proven leadership and relentless focus on customer success make her the ideal choice to expand oversight of our AOG operations across all ATAs. She will lead deployment of road teams, maintain a global 24/7 schedule, and ensure operator-specific needs are not just met, but anticipated.

New Leadership Roles: Building Depth and Focus

To ensure strength across every core service area, two new management roles have been established:

• Arturo Romero – Manager, Service Engineering – Damage Tolerance
  Arturo has long been at the forefront of our Damage Tolerance initiatives, managing DERs and DTE staff through complex requests and AMOCs. Now, in a formal management capacity, he will continue this work while also overseeing the design and development of new analysis tools — innovations that expand both the efficiency and scope of STS engineering.
• Lael Gobble – Manager, Service Engineering – Heavy Maintenance
  Heavy maintenance programs require steady leadership and clear coordination. Lael will oversee all remote engineering support in this space, ensuring that quality and efficiency remain uncompromised. His focus on training initiatives will ensure that major and minor repairs stay on schedule, creating a clear line of separation from the fast-paced demands of AOG services.

Both Arturo and Lael move forward from Principal Engineer to Manager, marking not only their personal growth but also STS Aviation Group’s commitment to developing leadership from within.

Recognizing Excellence in Melbourne, Florida

At our MRO in Melbourne, Florida, two additional promotions highlight the strength of our engineering talent:

• Joshua Greer has been promoted from Senior Engineer to Principal Engineer, reflecting his role as a mentor, trainer, and solutions-driven leader on-site.
• Thomas Townley has advanced from Associate Engineer to Engineer, a recognition of his strong technical performance and growing expertise after just one year with the team.

Investing in People, Driving the Future

These leadership changes represent more than titles. They reflect STS Aviation Group’s commitment to investing in its people, scaling for growth, and strengthening the operational backbone that supports our customers worldwide.

Congratulations to Amber, Arturo, Lael, Joshua, and Thomas. Their leadership will help guide STS Aviation Group into its next chapter of growth and excellence.

STANSTED, United Kingdom, 11 August 2025 — GT Engine Services, an STS Aviation Group company, announced that Greg Macleod will retire as Managing Director and Accountable Manager. This week will be his last. Tracey Clark, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, will step into both roles.

Macleod has led GT Engine Services for more than 15 years, guiding its evolution into a respected provider of global engine support. Following the company’s acquisition by STS Aviation Group in May 2024, he played a key role in ensuring a smooth transition and laying the groundwork for future growth.

“This is a bittersweet moment for me,” said Macleod. “I’m stepping away to pursue my dream of travelling the globe, but I’ll miss the fantastic team we’ve built here, and the many customers and suppliers who have become friends over the years. The integration with STS has gone very well, and with the support of H.I.G. Capital, the company is in a strong position to grow. The timing feels right, and I have full confidence in Tracey’s leadership moving forward.”

Clark brings deep operational experience to the role, having worked closely with Macleod during the company’s recent expansion.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Greg for many years, and I’m grateful for his mentorship and trust,” said Clark. “We have a strong team in place, a growing global customer base, and a clear strategy to move the business forward. I’m excited to lead GT Engine Services into its next chapter.”

GT Engine Services was recently honoured with The King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, a milestone that Macleod described as “an immensely proud moment” in his tenure.

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (June 12, 2025) — STS Aviation Services (STS), a leading provider of nose-to-tail MRO solutions, has earned expanded approval under its CAA Part 21J Design Organisation Approval (DOA), unlocking new capabilities for turbine engine component repairs and modifications.

The approval marks a strategic step forward for STS’ UK-based design team, now authorised to develop and certify Minor Modifications and Minor Repairs on turbine engine nacelles, including air intake cowls, fan cowls, thrust reversers, and core cowls. The enhanced scope covers:

• Minor repairs and unrepaired damage approvals on metallic and composite secondary structures
• Modifications to existing structures, including replacement part design and installation
• Protective treatments such as corrosion-inhibiting compounds, sealants, and coatings
• Design and installation of aircraft liveries, placards, and exterior markings

“Our team has worked diligently to secure this approval, further reflecting our technical expertise and our commitment to delivering high-value engineering services to our clients,” said Ethan Steele, EVP & Head of Commercial at STS Aviation Services. “Every new approval expands our ability to engineer real-world solutions.  We can better meet the needs of our airline and leasing customers faster, offering the safest most reliable options to reduce their operational disruptions.”

The new scope complements STS’ existing 21J capabilities, reinforcing the company’s commitment to offering agile, in-house engineering expertise across both airframe and engine systems. With this expansion, STS Aviation Services strengthens its position as one of the industry’s most comprehensive and responsive MRO providers, with design solutions that move at the speed of operations.

For operators facing AOG events, short lease transitions, or mid-life modification needs, the ability to self-certify structural and component repairs, quickly and compliantly, can make all the difference. This approval ensures STS can now deliver even more of those services under one roof.

आप इसे स्पॉटलाइट के लिए नहीं करते हैं।

आप सुर्खियों के लिए ऐसा नहीं करते हैं।

आप ऐसा करते हैं क्योंकि किसी को करना है। और आप उस व्यक्ति के होने पर गर्व करते हैं।

एक विमान के उड़ान भरने से बहुत पहले। पायलटों के सवार होने से पहले। इससे पहले कि यात्री झुक जाएं। आपका काम शुरू होता है। और उड़ान उतरने के लंबे समय बाद, आपका काम जारी रहता है। चुपचाप। बिलकुल ठीक। देखभाल के साथ और धैर्य के साथ।

आप ठंड में काम करते हैं। गर्मी में। रात के अंत में और सुबह के शुरुआती घंटों में। आप उन समस्याओं के लिए सुनते हैं जो दूसरे नहीं सुन सकते। आप उन विवरणों को देखते हैं जिन्हें अन्य लोग अनदेखा करते हैं। आप ठीक करते हैं जो ज्यादातर लोगों को कभी पता भी नहीं चलेगा कि वह टूट गया था।

और आप इसे बिना धूमधाम के करते हैं।

क्योंकि आप जानते हैं कि दांव पर क्या है। आप जानते हैं कि टेकऑफ़ के लिए तैयार और अभी तक नहीं के बीच का अंतर रेजर पतला है। आप जानते हैं कि हर बोल्ट, हर तार, हर लॉगबुक पर हर हस्ताक्षर का कुछ मतलब है। जीवन इस पर निर्भर करता है। और आप इसे कभी नहीं भूलते।

इसलिए आज, राष्ट्रीय विमानन रखरखाव तकनीशियन (एएमटी) दिवस पर, हम केवल काम को स्वीकार नहीं कर रहे हैं। हम इसके पीछे के लोगों का सम्मान कर रहे हैं।

जो पुरुष और महिलाएं दिन-ब-दिन दिखाई देते हैं। हाथ में उपकरण। मन में चेकलिस्ट। उनके कंधों पर जिम्मेदारी। जो बेजोड़ व्यावसायिकता और गर्व के साथ सुरक्षा और प्रदर्शन का भार उठाते हैं। जो लोग यह सब आसान बनाते हैं जब यह कुछ भी होता है।

आप विमानन की रीढ़ हैं।

आप कारण हैं कि यात्री सुरक्षित घर पहुंचते हैं।

आप कारण हैं कि कार्गो को वहां जाना चाहिए जहां उसे जाना चाहिए।

आप ही कारण हैं कि हम आत्मविश्वास के साथ आसमान पर ले जा सकते हैं।

और हम आपको देखते हैं।

एसटीएस एविएशन ग्रुप में, हमने इस विश्वास पर अपना व्यवसाय बनाया है कि महान लोग महान चीजें करते हैं। यह विश्वास आपके साथ शुरू होता है। अपने कौशल के साथ। अपने मानकों के साथ। काम को सही तरीके से करने की आपकी अथक प्रतिबद्धता के साथ, तब भी जब कोई नहीं देख रहा हो।

इसलिए धन्यवाद।

लंबी पारियों के लिए।

सुबह-सुबह के लिए।

अतिरिक्त मील के लिए।

यह सुनिश्चित करने में बिताए गए अनदेखी घंटों के लिए कि सब कुछ और हर कोई सुरक्षित रूप से उड़ सकता है।

आज आपका दिन है। और आपने इसे अर्जित किया है।

एसटीएस एविएशन ग्रुप में हम सभी से, हैप्पी एविएशन मेंटेनेंस टेक्नीशियन डे!
