Boutsen Aviation has appointed Laurent Saissi as Director of International Sales & Strategy, adding technical and commercial expertise to the company's international advisory team.

Saissi brings more than 25 years of experience across aviation, beginning his career in avionics engineering with Airbus, where he worked across major aircraft programmes and later moved into global customer support for airlines and military operators. He then spent nearly a decade at Dassault Aviation, supporting Falcon owners, operators, government clients and VIP customers. That role covered aircraft operations, technical support, upgrades, deliveries, pre-purchase inspections and after-sales strategy, before he moved into business development and aircraft sales, advising UHNWIs, corporations, operators and government clients across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Dominique Trinquet, President of Boutsen Aviation, says: “We are very pleased to welcome Laurent to Boutsen Aviation. His deep technical knowledge, international commercial experience and strong understanding of the complete aircraft lifecycle make him a valuable addition to our team. Laurent's client-first approach, discretion and strategic vision are perfectly aligned with the values that have guided the company since its creation.”

In his new role, Saissi will contribute to Boutsen Aviation's international sales development, supporting clients in complex aircraft transactions and helping structure aviation solutions across acquisition, ownership, resale, charter and fleet strategy. Boutsen Aviation has completed more than 430 aircraft transactions since its creation, and the appointment extends the company's advisory capability across the regions Saissi has previously covered.
