Maximus Air Cargo appoints Avanti Consult to support expansion and diversification plans

The appointment will strategically support Maximus Air Cargo's continued growth and its anticipated expansion into the arena of scheduled flights.

Performance has been robust over the last couple of years with growth and profit margins which far exceeded target. Despite the global downturn, 2009 remains steady and constant and as a result this stability will yield several exciting plans in 2010. These include further inroads into the aircraft wet lease sector. A significant plan will also include the provision of Maximus scheduled services and the hiring of Avanti is widely regarded as beneficial in facilitating this initiative.

Maximus Air Cargo President and CEO Fathi Hilal Buhazza, confident about Maximus Air Cargo's ongoing success story, underlined the value of appointing Avanti

"Maximus Air Cargo has gone from strength to strength and there is still more to achieve. Appointing Avanti ensures that we proceed forward in an advised and pragmatic manner so that we continue to maintain our impeccable standards."

Avanti was the business strategy consultancy of choice because of its considerable expertise in the aviation industry and its ability to offer solutions to meet individual challenges. Its appointment will both strengthen and underpin Maximus Air Cargo's drive to expand and diversify. Commenting on Avanti's appointment, Managing Director Cronan Enright said "Avanti Consult is delighted to be appointed by Maximus Air Cargo as its strategic advisor. Avanti will advise Maximus on the next exciting chapter of its development facilitating its dual business model of cargo charter and ACMI lease solutions, and its organisational readiness for the future."

A part of Abu Dhabi Aviation Group and established in 2005, Maximus Air Cargo has rapidly grown to be a key player providing end to end solutions for a multitude of sectors. Specialising in outsized cargo and wet leasing aircraft, its expertise is diverse and it operates varied fleet of eight aircraft, impeccable safety and security standards and an expert team, Maximus has in a short time established itself as the all cargo airline of choice and its figures and plans clearly reflect this success.
