About me

How can we help?

Regional Aviation Issues and Capability Deficits

Beneath the surface, there have been notable shifts. Regional aviation issues are deep and they are unlikely to “market correct” without stakeholder intervention and new investment opportunities.

Airports and many regional communities continue to struggle with fewer flights, high fares and a serious loss of both regional tourism and Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) travel. The period ahead for regional aviation could be hard. The comparative cost of going elsewhere is just better!

That won’t help communities, loss-making Council owned regional airports and regional airlines with ageing aircraft, cost, finance and skilled resource issues. We can help fix all that!

Interim Leadership and Continued Decision-Making

We coach leaders and we hone skills, capability and capacity within airport operations, regulators, government agencies, OEMs, Air Traffic Management, airport owners, new technology providers and aviation industry investors.

We help overcome skill shortages in airlines, at airports, within government aviation entities. We bring subject matter skills to aviation Boards and we help aviation investment funds with skills, analysis, strategies and ROIC.

Regional | Secondary Airport Viability & Infrastructure Deficit Strategies

We develop airport precinct financial revenue models to build, protect and grow current and future revenue channels, terminal and retail patronage, energy projects, intermodal hubs, improved land utilisation, precinct leases and events.

We identify regional airport infrastructure deficits, we identify opportunities to spread and share costs with other airport locations, and, we build and present collective regional airport and airline investment opportunities to aviation investment funds well aware of airport ROIC.

Technical and Industry expertise

Aerovision Partners brings specialised skills in critical leadership and support services in Air Traffic Management and, for airports seeking more efficient, compliant, and safe operational solutions and processes;

Fire and Rescue Graduated Services: Aerovision provides consultation on graduated fire and rescue services that meet varying levels of regulatory compliance while optimising resource allocation based on traffic volumes and airport category. This includes tailoring fire and rescue capabilities for smaller or regional airports, offering scalable solutions that balance safety and cost.
Uncontrolled Aerodrome Information Services (UAIS): For uncontrolled aerodromes, we offer UAIS to improve safety and situational awareness, including training and procedural development for ground staff to provide effective traffic advisories. This enhances operational safety at smaller airports without requiring full ATC services, a cost-effective solution that improves safety and reliability for pilots and ground operations.
Airport Ground Movement Services: Aerovision can assist in planning and optimising ground movement services, including ramp control and apron management, to increase efficiency and safety. Our experience in collaborative airport processes (such as A-CDM) ensures coordinated and efficient ground operations.

we assist Air Navigation Service Providers implement these initiatives.

We have experience with critical fuel and emission saving initiatives such as CDA, UPR, RNP AR and A-CDM

Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM): Optimising airport operational efficiency through real-time stakeholder collaboration, resulting in reduced turnaround times and minimised delays.
User-Preferred Routes (UPR): Expertise in flexible routing solutions that allow airlines to optimise flight paths, leading to reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and enhanced cost efficiency.
Continuous Descent Approach (CDA): Specialising in CDA procedures to reduce noise and fuel burn, supporting both airport sustainability goals and improved airline operating efficiency.
RNP AR Approaches: use of satellite-guided precision to enable safer, more efficient flight paths in challenging airspace, requiring specialised equipment, pilot training, and regulatory authorisation.

Destination Demand Generation

“Don’t try to be all things to all people, if you try to market to everyone, you will market to no one.”

Destination marketing is confronting significant challenges, particularly with issues like overcrowding and “over-tourism” in popular spots. Essentially, destination marketing collaborates with vital stakeholders to heighten awareness about places, establish innovative communication strategies, and present compelling reasons for visits.   

The Aerovision Partners destination demand service isn’t just about boosting tourism; it also aims to spur broader economic growth. This includes maintaining air services, introducing destinations to potential investors, and enriching the overall living quality of the locals. With changing dynamics, destination marketing should focus on the experience, service and regional dispersal.

When executed effectively, destination demand generation can result in real economic perks like job creation, investment attraction and infrastructure advancement.

Local, Community Commerce

The rules of the e-commerce game have undeniably changed: People want to support local – imagine presenting a QR code to every arriving visitor, so they can source local food, beverage, transport and experiences!

In today’s hyperconnected world, visitors can boost local visitor economies by easily engaging with a local Community Commerce solution. For example, a traveller to a Council owned regional airport, on arrival, is easily connected with local providers so that they can order a meal, or a bottle of ‘local something’ from a local business and charge it back to the local accommodation where they are staying!

Consumers are not just looking to buy product or services; they’re looking for an experience, authenticity and a sense of spending local, wherever they visit. This is where community commerce comes into play.

Community commerce empowers local providers to establish meaningful connections with visitors (and locals) and more effectively increase their competitiveness via a dedicated community commerce platform.

FAQs

How does Hans provide consulting and interim project and leadership services?

I come in together, embedding myself within your organisation, using subject matter expertise to lead issue resolution and project success. I am productive in the first 100 minutes! For a period of time I become an Integral Team Members, an expert working alongside teams, getting the job done! I am extremely engaging, with the ability to win over and influence a wide range of stakeholders right away. I will build trust with the internal team and with key stakeholders from day one. Most importantly, I have the ability to calm emotions, rebuild morale and win people over during turbulent times.

The aviation industry operates within a unique environment, successfully responding to challenges and opportunities requires expert knowledge. That is why many of the world’s largest airlines and airport operators and airport investors hire specialised analysts with extensive knowledge of the environments and best practice operating processes and standards.

At Aerovision Partners, we offer the right skill and expertise for complex aviation project, implementation and issue support that has previously only been accessible to the largest organisations. We offer this expertise to cost-conscious clients, ensuring industry-leading advice, along with a desire for our clients to own the outcome, build their capabilities, and generate and operate sustainable and effective business.

How do we work with Aerovision Partners?

Let’s chat, discuss your project, skill shortages and your aviation issue. We will assess and quickly let you know if, and how, we can add value. We are happy to agree risk and targeted outcomes.

What don’t you do?

I do not take on projects outside our expertise. I do not look to place consultants from a bench! We present a wide range of experience and capability, we will recommend alternate pathways if we know they will work better for you. I am not a typical consultant. I am an interim expert and leader, rolling up the sleeves, working alongside your teams and to get the job done. I will not look to add people, or have you as an ongoing client unless other issues can benefit from my expertise. We will train relevant staff as part of our service and, we will provide support, as required, after we leave.

Can I apply to be a part of the team or work as a contractor?

No, we do not look to place people on client projects. We lead projects, we extend capabilities and we resolve complex aviation issues. When resourcing is required we will recommend pathways to our clients, working within their budgets and HR policies.
