Asian Sky Group (ASG), announces that Alud Davies has joined the company as director of its Media and Communications division, ASIAN SKY MEDIA (ASM).
Davies brings 18 years of diverse experience in commercial and business aviation publishing and communications. In 2019 Sapphire Pegasus Business Aviation Awards honoured Davies with the prestigious award of “Business Aviation Journalist of the Year.’
Davies will oversee the Asian Sky Media division, which publishes industry-leading reports covering a broad and diverse range of topics relevant to business aviation. ASM’s publication roster covers fleet data on business jets, helicopters, and charter aircraft. Its special editions cover infrastructure and training schools and many other key topics. ASM also hosts podcasts with industry leaders. In addition to its publications, ASM’s industry experts offer consulting services to clients, assisting in the development of their brand awareness and marketing strategies in Asia.
Jeffrey Lowe, CEO of ASG commented, “We are fortunate to recruit an industry personality and innovator of Alud’s stature and experience. We look forward to welcoming him to Hong Kong as soon as travel is permitted, although like everyone in a COVID world he is adept at using virtual connections and is already contributing to ASM. As Founder of BizJetBlogger and Editor of Corporate Jet Investor, Alud demonstrated creativity and forward-thinking, and we look forward to him leading our media division into its second decade.”
Lowe added, “ASG came through 2020 with one of its best years. Our financial performance improved notwithstanding the challenges of a horrible global pandemic. We will use our resources to support Alud in adding new publications, researching cutting edge trends, distributing additional podcasts, and migrating trade shows to virtual platforms.”
Davies commented, “I am incredibly excited to join Asian Sky Group and look forward to moving to Hong Kong. ASG was one of the first entities to recognize the potential for general aviation in Asia. Its dual language publications and podcasts, in both English and Chinese, have a global audience, and its brand reaches Europe and the Americas. It is a privilege to be chosen to head its media division and participate in ASG’s celebration of its ten-year anniversary and embarkation on a new decade. Plans are already underway to launch new publications to cover cutting edge topics such as urban air mobility.”
Davies began his career working for AirClaims in London and remained through its acquisition by FlightGlobal. He was the Founder of “BizJetBlogger” and joined Corporate Jet investor in 2014, eventually being named Editor.
