GECAS' AviaSolutions Consulting Business Names John Carter Managing Director, Expands Services to Airlines

August 30, 2013

LONDON, August 30, 2013 -- GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) today announced the appointment of John Carter as managing director of its AviaSolutions consulting business, which is expanding its services beyond airports to boost its work with airlines.

"Spurred by the growth of low-cost carriers over the last decade, we see many new opportunities for airports and airlines to work as partners instead of adversaries," said Carter. "We're now expanding our work with airports to the airlines, leveraging our 10-plus years of experience to help improve profitability and efficiency in today's marketplace."

Recent airline consulting projects include start-up business plans for two airlines consisting of 60 aircraft, a review of Hajj traffic demand, and a widebody aircraft study.

John Carter joined AviaSolutions in 2008 and has more than 20 years experience in the aviation industry. Previously, he worked for the British Airport Authority (BAA plc) in a variety of roles. There he handled the disposal of assets after the Ferrovial acquisition, devised retail sales and loyalty programs that increased sales by 30 percent, and managed several operational improvement programs. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics and business finance from Brunel University and a MBA from the University of Surrey.
