Happy New Year - Operations 2023

Another year, another 13 AIRACs gone. This has been a challenging year, with increased workload placed upon the department, after the loss of some experienced staff.

Operations Director - Opening Statement

Firstly, thank you to everyone for the warm welcome, I know recuitment for this role has been eagerly anticipated and I hope I can do justice to it. At the present moment, Chris remains responsible for the majority of the department's output. This will gradually shift as we get the opportunity to hand over the various compenents. Getting to grips with the current state of affairs will take some time and I anticipate that during this period, I won't be able to respond to queries as promptly
