TrueNoord, the specialist regional aircraft lessor, has announced the appointment of Stephen Spillane to the position of Technical Manager, reporting to Richard Jacobs, Chief Commercial Officer. Joining the Dublin team, Spillane will provide technical support worldwide and further enhance TrueNoord’s technical services in Dublin.
Making a statement on the new addition to his team, Richard Jacobs said “Stephen’s experience across diverse aircraft types will be invaluable as we build TrueNoord’s Technical Team’s capabilities. This senior appointment will reinforce the breadth of services encompassed by the TrueNoord Dublin office beyond the sales and commercial functions we have had up to now.”
Throughout his career, Spillane’s experience across multiple roles has gained him significant knowledge and understanding in the technical and managerial aspects of the aviation industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he secured multiple transfers of ownerships and registration changes for GECAS’ B737 Cargo Program, and successfully engineered the management of GECAS’ first delivery. This new role within the dynamic regional aircraft leasing sector will provide the platform where he can further develop his experience in the technical management of leased aircraft.
