Air Partner opens offices in Houston and Singapore
Air Partner is strengthening its presence worldwide. Two new offices in the US and Asia will exploit the potential of Houston's oil and gas industry and Singapore's freight and remarketing opportunities.
Mark Briffa comments on the expansion of Air Partner into Houston and Singapore.

Air Partner has opened two new offices in Houston and Singapore. The Houston, Texas, office is located in the Woodlands area of the city and joins the network of other US locations in Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Washington DC and Los Angeles. The company explains the decision, saying that Houston is one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United States and offers a wealth of opportunities. For example, the Port of Houston leads the nation in break bulk cargo and is a top foreign trade zone, which will help Air Partner further extend its thriving large freight division. Furthermore, the company will also now be in closer proximity to Houston's 'oil cluster', helping it to take more share of the oil and gas industry in the region.

The Singapore office has a particular focus on Air Partner's freight and remarketing services. The freight team has already grown its headcount there with the recent appointment of Oscar Thwin as Asia Pacific vice president of freight. He will be responsible for growing the company's cargo offering in the region.

Air Partner has had a presence in Singapore since 2015, but is now sharpening its focus on growing its share of the Asia Pacific market, in line with a strategy to expand its geographical footprint beyond more established markets.

CEO Mark Briffa says: “The extension of our international office network further supports our long-term growth strategy. I am very pleased to be building on our existing success in the US by expanding our presence in the country, as well as opening a new office in Singapore. We are always looking to extend our reach and services across the globe to meet our customers' diverse aviation needs, and both Houston and Singapore are thriving economic centres with huge potential. We look forward to supporting established and new customers from our recently opened offices.”
