TP Aerospace has appointed Mike Humphreys as chief executive, effective 1 June 2026, as the wheel and brake specialist sharpens its commercial focus. The board said the move is intended to support the company’s growth strategy and customer development across its aviation aftermarket activities.
Humphreys already sat on the board before the appointment and brings more than 30 years of experience in commercial aviation aftermarket services. TP Aerospace operates as an independent supplier of wheels and brakes solutions, including exchange programmes, MRO work and spare parts, through a global maintenance network.
The leadership change follows a broader management reset. Dirk Hanenberg is due to join as Group Chief Operating Officer in April 2026, replacing Felix Ammann. The sequence of appointments points to a tighter division between commercial execution and operational management as TP Aerospace positions itself for growth and profitability.
