The unveiling of KAAM is the culmination of Kellstrom Aerospace’s strategy and vision over the past 4 years to provide total lifecycle support for aircraft and equipment from manufacture through to end of life. With a global team developing a solid infrastructure ensuring its success over the past four years and the key acquisitions of engine MRO, Vortex Aviation in 2017 and premier aviation consulting company, The Aircraft Group in 2016, and launching Kellstrom Aerospace Technical Services (KATS), The Kellstrom Aerospace Group has established itself as a center of excellence across aircraft and engine asset management services.
Chris Watkins, former Director of Leasing and Trading of Kellstrom Aerospace, has been promoted to lead the efforts of KAAM as General Manager. Watkins will oversee all efforts within the KAAM division to achieve a planned portfolio under management of $1.5 billion in assets. Watkins has served as part of the Kellstrom Aerospace team for three years prior to his promotion.
