He joins the Chennault International airport, Louisiana-headquartered completion centre from MRO Holdings, where he served as CEO and led the company to become the largest airframe maintenance provider in the Americas. Under his leadership, MRO Holdings achieved global recognition for its superior operational performance and long-term partnerships with some of the world's largest air carriers.

I see a tremendous opportunity for our team, and I look forward to driving the company's vision forward.”

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Colgan is a dedicated advocate for giving back to the community.

He is also the recipient of the prestigious Airlines for America 2025 Nuts & Bolts Award, recognising his contributions to the aviation industry.
