Avia Solutions Group, a Dublin-based company and global leader in ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) services, recently reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, presenting itself as one of the most notable players in the international Aviation industry. The group, which currently operates 221 aircraft – including 183 passenger and 38 cargo aircraft – recorded a significant increase in its revenue and net profit compared to last year. This underlines the group’s successful focus on expansion and market diversification.
The Avia Solutions Group was able to increase its revenue by a remarkable 25% to a total of 2.06 billion euros in the third quarter of 2024. This increase is primarily due to increased demand for air transport services as well as strategic investments in new markets and partnerships. The group’s net profit also grew from 70.8 million euros in the previous year to 83.3 million euros, an increase of 17.6%. EBITDA, an important indicator of operational performance, amounted to 406 million euros – an increase of 18% compared to the same period last year.
Regional sales distribution and market strategy
Europe remains the most important market for the Avia Solutions Group with a share of 55.1%, followed by Asia with 27.9%. These regions make a significant contribution to the group’s sales, while North and South America and other areas such as Africa and Australia together only account for a small proportion of around 15.7%. CEO Jonas Janukenas emphasizes that expansion in Southeast Asia and other countercyclical markets is a strategic priority. These markets offer significant growth opportunities and allow the Group to compensate for seasonal fluctuations and optimize fleet utilization throughout the year. Investments in these regions are intended to help maximize operational capability while meeting the needs of customers worldwide.
Strategic expansion and acquisitions
The start of Avia Solutions Group’s growth strategy is the acquisition of Australia’s Skytrans in the first half of 2024. The acquisition of the number of air operator certificates (AOCs) the group holds in total is 11. In the third quarter of 2024, the group also established its first AOC in Thailand called Thai SmartLynx. The expansion in Asia is part of a long-term strategy to establish additional AOCs in Malaysia, the Philippines and Brazil by the end of 2025.
Freight market and challenges
Despite the growth trajectory, the freight market has proven challenging in 2024, primarily due to overcapacity and changing demand. Jonas Janukenas said that the group is optimistic about the future and expects a revival of the freight market in 2025. Adapting to market conditions and leveraging technology to improve operations will be critical to succeed in a competitive market.
Financial support and investor confidence
To support its business strategy, Avia Solutions Group issued a $300 million five-year unsecured bond with a coupon rate of 9.75% in the first half of 2024. This financing measure not only strengthens the group’s liquidity, but also shows investors’ confidence in the company’s long-term strategy. Another indication of confidence in the group is the increase in equity of 300 million euros in 2024, which came through the conversion of preferred shares into ordinary shares by Certares Management LLC, a US-based private equity firm.
Future outlook: investments and expansions
The latest orders for 80 Boeing 737 MAXs, divided into 40 firm orders and 40 purchase options, verify Avia Solutions Group’s growth ambitions. Deliveries of these aircraft are scheduled for 2030, which should enable the group to modernize its fleet in the long term and meet the growing needs of the aviation industry.
Comprehensive services and global network
Avia Solutions Group offers a wide range of services ranging from aircraft maintenance and repair (MRO) to pilot and crew training and ground handling. With more than 250 subsidiaries in 68 countries and a team of over 14,000 aviation professionals, the group is able to offer tailored solutions to a wide range of customers worldwide. This versatility and robust market position of the Group have helped it to establish itself as an indispensable player in the global aviation industry.
