Company information
Aviation Strategy Group (ASG) is an aviation advisory group offering air transport companies around the world a comprehensive range of services from strategic development and business design through to implementation, management and control.
ASG’s partners and associates, collectively and individually, have an unrivalled expertise and track record across all aspects of aviation: strategy, finance and project management, commercial and operational optimisation, network planning and pricing & revenue management, product design, IFE & cabin configurations, market research and branding.
ASG is not a consulting practice that advises from ‘the sidelines’ or produces heavy decks and powerpoint presentations. Instead, we work directly as part of our client’s team, providing hands-on practical input, and undertaking operational, marketing, and product development tasks.
We are highly experienced project managers, able to deliver on-time and on-budget. Project capabilities range from strategic start-up or major restructuring programmes, to more specialized projects (where a client may not have either the time or relevant skillset).
We balance strategic vision with practical know-how; and produce timely & cost-effective solutions. Plus, knowing that the toughest part of any project is the execution, we go beyond simply ‘reporting’ and ensure ‘on-the-ground’ follow-through.

Our Client's Reviews
Biman Bangladesh Airlines
George joined us in Dhaka, first as a consultant and then as an officer of the company for almost a full year. He helped rebuild customer service, airport handling and inflight standards, personally mentoring management and frontline teams. The service culture he helped create is now permanent and lets Biman compete on equal footing with the Gulf giants.
Shafiqur Rahman
Managing Director & CEOAir Canada
We engaged George on two high-impact projects: a competitive deep-dive into how Emirates, Etihad and Qatar would react to a liberalised Canada bilateral, and a complete redesign of the premium passenger airport journey in Canada. His work was excellent and both deliverables directly influenced board-level decisions and are still in active use today.
Duncan Dee
Former Executive Vice President & Chief Operating OfficerVIA Rail Canada
VIA Rail tasked ASG to help lift chronically low load factors on the Quebec City–Windsor corridor. By introducing airline revenue-management techniques, interline agreements and deeper commercial partnerships with REM (Réseau express métropolitain) in Montréal, GO Transit in Toronto and Amtrak, George gave us the information and context to drive higher load factors – a transformation that added tens of millions to the bottom line.
Michael Acosta
Chief Commercial OfficerVirgin Atlantic Airways
George and his team led the full cabin product review for our new 787-9 and A350- fleets – competitive product benchmarking, customer research, seat selection and interior specification. The cabins we launched based on his recommendations consistently rank among the best-rated in the world.
Daniel Kerzner
Former Vice President Product Design & MarketingTravelSpan (Air Guyana project)
Aviation Strategy Group prepared the complete start-up and investor package for Air Guyana: market analysis, route planning, fleet selection, financial model, investor memorandum and full project timeline. New York-based investors were committed and the airline was ready for launch in early 2020 – until COVID made any new airline impossible to finance for the next two years.
