Ascent Aviation Services have announced the promotion of Tim McGuire to President & Chief Operating Officer, effective immediately.

Over the past four years serving as Chief Operating Officer, McGuire has played a pivotal role in strengthening Ascent's operational performance, improving productivity, reducing damage and rework, and further reinforcing customer confidence in the company's capabilities and service excellence.

In his expanded role, McGuire will continue leading Ascent's day-to-day operational performance while gradually assuming oversight of additional corporate functions, including Sales & Marketing, Contracts, and Finance. These transitions will be implemented thoughtfully to ensure continuity for employees, customers, and ongoing programs — including preparations for Ascent's first Boeing 777-300ER passenger-to-freighter modification program.

"Tim has become a trusted leader across the organization and a valued partner to our customers, employees, and shareholders," said Dave Querio CEO. "I have tremendous confidence in Tim and in what we will accomplish together as we continue building the future of Ascent."

"Together, we are moving the company forward, growing the business, and increasing the global recognition of the Ascent Aviation Services name and brand," added Dave Querio.
