Multidisciplinary aviation consulting firm Altea has appointed business jet specialist Michael Hoby Andersen as a full partner. Hoby Andersen will bring technical and operational experience to the acquisition and sales of aircraft assets, underpinned by his extensive global network in VIP aviation.
“Altea has the ability to engage with customers from all angles,” said Hoby Andersen. “The diverse skills, experience and industry backgrounds that the senior team bring are unique in the field. When these are combined, we offer one of the strongest support structures across asset management, financial solutions, design and completions to guide and inspire owners and operators across the worldwide bizjet market. This is what sets us apart, and it is what attracted me to join the business.”
“Our customers expect solutions, often to very complex and unique problems, and this can involve bringing together operational, technical, financial and creative brains to work in complete alignment,” said Robin Dunlop, founding partner at Altea. “Michael not only understands the commercial aspects of VIP jet operations but has a precision focus on safety and maintenance. This hands-on experience is invaluable as it instils instinctive trust.”
On behalf of Altea, Hoby Andersen recently coordinated the sale off-market of a Global 6000. “Integrity and discretion were the cornerstones that underpinned this transaction and I consider these to be essential requirements for the acquisition and marketing of aircraft assets in the private sector,” said Hoby Andersen.
Altea shared that Hoby Andersen is highly regarded by the company’s customer base. “Michael’s ability to go the extra mile, coupled with his dedication to full confidentiality and adherence to the highest standards of professionalism, sets him apart as a truly exceptional specialist in his field, and in business aviation in general,” said the owner of the Global sold recently.
