Business aviation support services company ACASS has appointed Frank Ercolanese as its new president. He has more than 31 years of aerospace experience, including 25 years with Bombardier Aerospace in both the defense and aerospace sectors in North America and the Middle East. Over the past eight years, Ercolanese was a member of Bombardier’s business aircraft senior leadership team.

“Frank is a perfect complement to the already strong executive management team at ACASS, and bringing him on board strategically diversifies our leadership and positions us for accelerated international growth,” said ACASS CEO Andre Khury. “Given [our] multiple business aviation service verticals…it was vital to find someone with just the right mix of knowledge and expertise.”

At Bombardier, Ercolanese was instrumental in the negotiation and relationship management tied to multiple large transactions for business aircraft, securing jet orders worth billions of dollars for NetJets, VistaJet, Flexjet and others.

He will work out of ACASS’s headquarters in Montreal and will have oversight of the company’s regional offices in Africa, Brazil, China, Europe, Mexico, the UAE and the U.S.
