Airclaims opens Dublin office

Airclaims, the specialist insurance claims, risk and aircraft management consultancy, has opened an office in Dublin.

It will be headed by Ben Dean a senior manager, in the company’s risk and asset management team which provides a range of services from individual operator risk assessment to aircraft management.

“Our aim is to be the first organisation that the leasing and finance community turn to, when they require a partner with the very highest level of technical and industry expertise,” said Peter Bull, group director, risk and asset management. “We believe that this new office will allow us to forge closer relationships with our customers, better understand their needs and so enhance the level of service that we provide.”

Airclaims has 18 offices spread across Europe, Africa, North and South America and Asia. The company says it handles 2,700 assignments each year.

 “Our Risk and Asset Management division continues to strengthen from our increasing number of engineers positioned around the world, to our Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) capability, which has grown to cover more than 40 different aircraft types,” said Mark Hunter, CEO of Airclaims Group. “This new office is the natural next step that positions us even closer to the vitally important Dublin market.”

Airclaims is owned by LDC Capital, the private equity division of the UK’s Lloyds Bank. Last month, Ascend, its sister company, was sold to Reed Business Information.
