ATR Appoints Alessandro Luzi as MD of AES Subsidiary in Singapore

ATR has appointed Alessandro Luzi as Managing Director of its Eastern Support (AES) subsidiary, based in Singapore.

Alessandro joined ATR in 2008 as a Cockpit and Cabin Design Engineer. He has worked in leadership roles as Head of Aircraft Interiors and Systems Installation, and leading the development of the ATR 72-600F as the project’s Chief Engineer.

In his new role, Alessandro will replace Jean-Pierre Clercin who will become ATR’s Head of Sales for the Asia Pacific Region, and will continue to work from the Singapore office.

Alessandro obtained his Master’s degree in Industrial Mechanical Engineering at the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona where he graduated with the highest possible honours.

“I am very much looking forward to joining the AES team. With our customers and operators in the region facing a variety of challenges, I hope that my experience and technical background will allow us to truly meet their needs and offer them the support that they need in the current environment,” Alessandro said.

The ATR Eastern Support Facility has also officially moved premises from Changi Business Park to Seletar Aerospace Park, where it will be located alongside the ATR Training Centre, on the Airbus campus, in the local aerospace cluster.

The relocation also provided an opportunity for the company to upgrade the ATR -600 simulator to the latest avionic standard 3.1, improving the visual system and qualify UPRT and full-stall & Icing capabilities.

The new office facilitates an “activity-based working” concept, to enhance and facilitate collaboration. In this environment, there are no personal offices, but rather a range of different settings for different work activities.

The Singapore office hosts around 60 ATR employees.
