Fadel Al-Faraj, General Manager of Q8Aviation, says: “Following a review of our long-term business strategy we have adjusted our management structure to align it more closely with our objectives and Q8’s corporate mission. Our top team combines experience with a fresh outlook and is ideally placed to drive the company forward”.

Three new Directors have been appointed, reporting to Fadel Al-Faraj, General Manager of Q8Aviation:

Julian Amesbury takes on the new role of Commercial Director, responsible for sales, business development and planning.  Julian joined Q8Aviation more than ten years ago and brings to this position in depth experience in operations, business development and IT.

Steve Newton joins as Technical and Operations Director to oversee the technical, operational, health & safety and IT aspects of the business.
