Dubai-headquartered aircraft sales and acquisitions specialist ArcosJet has hired Mehrzad Sepasi as director of sales and business development based in Dubai, while Yuri Dzun comes onboard as a sales and marketing director for Europe. The new ArcosJet team members will further expand local market coverage and help the company to stay closer to its customers in Europe and the Middle East.

Sepasi is known within the business aviation community as a highly qualified industry professional with over 30 years of experience in different sectors of aviation. He started his aviation career in 1990 at Bombardier. Over three decades, he has been involved in different types of aircraft manufacturing/operation and has delivered over 100 Bombardier business aircraft worldwide to a large number of clients. During the past 15 years as a senior advisor for customer account management at Bombardier, he was in charge of supporting Bombardier clients in the Middle East, Russia, CIS, Canada, the Far East, South America and Europe and since then has developed a strong reputation as a person of deep knowledge of the aviation industry with great customer relations skills.

“I'm very pleased and excited to join the ArcosJet team,” he says. “ArcosJet has a unique approach to the business aircraft industry with a great understanding of market demand and the ability to identify the right aircraft for every owner. It has a highly professional team with solid experience in several local markets as well as globally. I will be responsible for the pre-owned aircraft sales and market development with a focus on the Middle East and other regions.”

Yuri Dzun has spent 10 years in the aviation industry working as a charter broker, as well as in sales, marketing, and business development positions. At ArcosJet, he will be responsible for sales and marketing activities in the European countries, with his office located in Milan, Italy.

“I’m very passionate about aviation and networking,” he comments. “The ArcosJet brand and services are already known as unique all over the industry, however, I'm sure my skills and experience will help us to promote them to the highest status of an essential partner to work with on the market. I am also glad I am starting to work with a really exceptional team of professionals with a very warm internal atmosphere, and this is one of the greatest assets to offer to our partners.”

Founder and CEO Mikhail Alenkin concludes: “We are excited to welcome Mehrzad and Yuri on board, and I believe they make our aircraft sales and customer networking much more efficient, helping us better understand our local clients and bringing them an outstanding experience on buying or selling their aircraft with ArcosJet.”
