Clay Lacy explains that its primary business is in holistic ‘aircraft asset management,’ rather than referring to any one of its isolated aircraft-related capabilities specifically.
Curtin explained prior to his appointment in his new role, that Clay Lacy, which currently manages 140 aircraft, was seeking to onboard a seasoned aviation professional to help guide a new period of growth, and to streamline the onboarding process for their various client-facing business units.
