Vallair, the mature aircraft asset specialist dedicated to the support of operators and lessors, has “appointed François Biarneix as Operations Director.” Vallair says Biarneix will “oversee the strategic deployment and operations of Vallair’s aerostructure and composite shop, engine shop, logistics department, and aircraft dismantling activities. Biarneix brings a wealth of management experience, further strengthening Vallair’s senior team and capabilities.”
According to Vallair, “Biarneix’s work history spans over two decades, recently including the role of Technical Manager for a supplier specialising in the parts production for Airbus and Safran programmes, and later as a Plant Manager in the automotive sector.”
During his career, “he headed the team that successfully transferred A330 component production from Airbus’ Nantes facility to their Indraero facility. This included the creation and expansion of a technical department and orchestrating significant plant transformation, resulting in substantial revenue growth.”
Biarneix says: “I believe one of our greatest strengths as a Company is our flexibility and the ability to adapt to market trends and changing demand. Vallair has exciting plans to expand its operations including increased aerostructure capacity, creating a logistics hub, and increasing dismantling activity. We are also looking at further development in our new engine shop to manage module replacement through to maintenance.”
