IBA, the aviation intelligence and advisory company, has announced two senior promotions in its Technical and Asset Management division as Technical Director Paul Brooker approaches retirement at the end of March 2026.
Brooker, who joined IBA in 2013 to head its technical department, has served as Chief Technical Manager and Technical Director, bringing extensive experience from prior roles including PMC Manager at PT. Aero Nusantara and engineering positions in aviation maintenance. A company video highlights his leadership in showcasing IBA’s technical expertise in the aviation industry.
Denis Brailsford has been promoted to a senior role within the division, succeeding Brooker in key technical responsibilities. The announcement underscores IBA’s strategy to maintain continuity in its technical operations amid leadership transitions. Brooker’s tenure has been marked by oversight of engineering and maintenance advisory services for global aviation clients.
This move aligns with ongoing industry shifts, including expansions in MRO capabilities by providers like Delta TechOps and Akasa Air. IBA’s promotions ensure sustained delivery of intelligence and asset management solutions to airlines and operators worldwide. The changes take effect as Brooker concludes over a decade with the firm, having contributed to its growth as a key consultancy player.
