Alton Aviation Consultancy Reports Significant Growth
Alton Aviation Consultancy reports another year of record growth in 2024 and looks forward to meeting the rising demand for high-quality aviation consulting services for this year.
Alton’s advisory work continued to grow across all key segments of the aviation value chain to include airline and lessor fleet strategy, restructuring, M&A due diligence, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) strategic planning, and in the airports and business and general aviation (BGA) sectors.
In 2024, the firm successfully completed approximately 200 engagements for more than 100 clients, with around two-thirds of the business being from clients that have engaged the firm in prior years.
Adam Cowburn, managing director, commented: “2024 served to further validate Alton’s value proposition for serving our clients – deep aviation industry domain expertise paired with strong in-region market insights efficiently delivered to meet challenging transaction and strategic project deadlines.”
Cowburn also noted that the consultancy anticipates a more favorable economic environment for M&A transactions, providing additional opportunities to demonstrate its unique capabilities to customers.
John Mowry, managing director, added: “As the ongoing aviation supply chain challenges continue to negatively impact industry stakeholders, Alton has been pleased with the positive feedback received from the growing number of new clients that have benefited from the unparalleled experience of Alton’s professional team of advisors.”
