AEA Ties With Seabury

Seabury Aviation and the Association of European Airlines (AEA) have signed an exclusive aviation partnership.

“This co-operation will provide for remarkable synergies”, said AEA Secretary General Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus. “AEA engages in an intense dialogue with regulatory bodies of the European Union, and in so doing underlines the commonality of interests of its members, whilst Seabury can provide guidance to individual member airlines on issues such as strategy consulting, business planning, acquisition and financing.”

The AEA says the agreement is more than a "sponsorship" deal. ”If the European aviation sector is to emerge from the current crisis as resilient, the entire aviation value chain must become more competitive, environmentally sensitized and consumer-oriented”, said Schulte-Strathaus. “To contribute to that goal, we will intensify co-operation with other airline associations, but also reach out to other stakeholders. The strategic partnership with Seabury is a cornerstone of such a forward-looking integrated industry policy; further strategic partnerships will follow.”

Henri Courpron, President Europe & Head of Aerospace for Seabury added, "With over 175 professionals, Seabury is well established, having advised major airlines, investors and Aerospace companies worldwide. We can benefit hugely from AEA’s airline industry expertise, and we will be able to add value to AEA and its members.”

Last month, Air Cargo World published the results of Seabury's first survey on cargo industry best practices. This followed Seabury's annual air cargo industry forecast in the magazine.
