AerAdvise

Established in 2018 by Pat Toner, AerAdvise operates as an independent technical consulting and asset management firm catering to the global aircraft leasing industry. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, a major hub for aviation finance, the company leverages the extensive experience of its team in aircraft leasing, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), and aviation technology to serve a clientele that includes investment funds, banks, aircraft leasing companies, asset managers, and airlines.

The company's core business revolves around preserving the value of high-value aircraft assets throughout their lifecycle. This is achieved through a comprehensive suite of services. Their Technical Support Services encompass aircraft inspections, transitions, recovery, maintenance event management, and technical due diligence. A key offering is their Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) services, which are crucial for maintaining an aircraft's airworthiness. AerAdvise holds EASA Part-CAMO approval, enabling them to manage the airworthiness of aircraft registered in any EASA member state, as well as other jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands and Guernsey. This certification allows them to ensure aircraft meet the stringent operational standards set by various civil aviation authorities. In late 2023, AerAdvise formed a strategic alliance with ABC International, an EASA-approved design organization, to offer integrated solutions combining technical services with cabin modification and refurbishment design services.

AerAdvise's business model is built on providing tailored technical solutions and consultancy. They offer back-office support, managing information systems such as Leasepoint and AerData CMS for their clients. In April 2022, the owner of AerAdvise acquired Core Financial Systems, a provider of financial software with expertise in aircraft leasing. This strategic move brought both companies under a group structure called Tekunh Ltd, aiming to build a comprehensive services platform based on a recurring revenue model. Following this transaction, Chirisa Investments joined existing shareholders Pat Toner and Kouchin Holdings (Emmet O'Neill) in the enlarged group. The group has expressed ambitions for further acquisitions and aims to grow revenue significantly through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. A notable achievement for the company was winning the people development award at the Aviation Industry Awards in 2023.
