Alan Miles, Director, Regulatory Services and Training, IBA Group
Born and educated in Bristol, Alan Miles started his aviation career in 1970 as an apprentice technician with Rolls-Royce. During his twenty-three year career with the Company, he progressed from manufacturing and aircraft maintenance planning through to project management, to become Business Manager of their third-party maintenance organisation.
In 1994, Alan joined European Aviation Air Charter (EAAC) where he set-up and quickly established the airline with its sister organisation, a JAR-145 approved maintenance company. During his eight-year period with EAAC, Alan was promoted to the role of Engineering Director following his successful management of the organisation’s expansion plans which saw them become a major operator and maintainer of BAC 1-11 and B737 aircraft.
After leaving EAAC, Alan worked in various senior management positions within the aviation industry and as a freelance consultant, working on creating new opportunities relating to the leasing and operation of aircraft. This was in addition to running his own aviation supply company in East Africa.
In 2006, Alan joined the IBA Group as Director, Asset Management before recently being appointed as Director, Regulatory Services and Training. Now heading up IBA’s training division, Alan is fully conversant with all relevant regulations and ‘best practice’, including the current EU-OPS-1 and Part-145 legislation as applied to maintenance issue and Part-M requirements for Continuing Airworthiness Management.
