OGaraJets has brought in Marc Owens as technical services specialist, strengthening the Atlanta, Georgia-based business aircraft brokerage's technical capabilities and reinforcing its commitment to delivering informed, confidence-driven aircraft transactions.
Owens joins OGaraJets with more than 22 years of aviation experience, including two decades as an FAA-certified Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) technician. Throughout his career, he has developed extensive expertise in aircraft maintenance, technical troubleshooting and AOG support, helping operators identify practical solutions whilst minimising downtime and keeping aircraft mission-ready.
As technical services specialist, he will support the brokerage team by translating complex maintenance and technical information into clear, actionable insights for buyers, sellers and transaction stakeholders. His experience and practical approach will help clients better understand the condition of their aircraft and make well-informed decisions throughout the acquisition or sales process.
“Marc brings exactly the kind of experience and mindset we're looking for,” remarks Jared Orich, technical services manager at OGaraJets. “He's spent his career solving real-world maintenance challenges, but what impressed me most is his ability to communicate those solutions in a way that's easy to understand. Technical knowledge is incredibly valuable, but being able to translate it into meaningful guidance for clients is what truly sets Marc apart. I'm excited to have him on our team and look forward to the expertise he'll bring to every transaction.”
Owens' passion for aviation extends beyond his professional career. He actively volunteers within the community by introducing young people to aviation through STEM education initiatives and discovery flight programmes. Whether mentoring future aviators or talking aeroplanes with fellow enthusiasts, he remains committed to sharing his passion for flight.
“I'm excited to join a company that's built such a strong reputation for integrity, expertise and putting clients first,” he states. “I've always believed that every successful outcome starts with understanding the process, and I'm looking forward to helping our clients navigate the technical side of aircraft transactions with confidence.”
His addition reflects OGaraJets' continued investment in technical expertise, ensuring every client benefits from experienced professionals who can simplify complexity, build confidence and deliver exceptional service throughout every aircraft transaction.
