Aircraft and helicopter sales and acquisitions company Blueberry Aviation has welcomed Gregoris Dassios to its team as commercial director.

Dassios has nearly 30 years' experience in the aviation industry. Most of his career was spent at Airbus in Toulouse, France where he held several positions firstly in engineering, and then as customer support director where he managed parts of Latin America, central and south eastern Europe and the Middle East, supporting airlines in the region.

He then moved to the procurement division followed by the commercial division as sales director for central, eastern and south eastern Europe. There he managed several successful campaigns, notably with WizzAir, Aegean, MedAir and Sky Express. He was head of region covering Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria for the Airbus Group, including commercial aircraft, helicopters, defence & space, before joining Sky Express, one of the major airlines in Greece and in the region, as CEO.

“It is a real pleasure to bring Greg Dassios onboard Blueberry Aviation's commercial team,” says founder and CEO Gautier. “He has uniquely broad aviation experience and expertise and his recognised commercial acumen, as well as his knowledge of airlines, will be a great asset for the company. I am extremely proud to work with Greg, as is the entire team.”

“I feel most privileged to join the Blueberry family ever since I met François and his dynamic and dedicated team,” says Dassios. “The solid team spirit of the company, its diversity in knowledge, and the culture and background of its people are the real assets of this innovative company. I am more than keen to deploy my broad OEM and airline experience, gained from my previous employers Airbus and Sky Express, in the trading of helicopters and aircraft in the second hand market.“

Dassios will serve Blueberry's helicopters sales activities in the North American region.
