AJ Pearman Aviation Services

What AJ Pearman Aviation Services does

AJ Pearman Aviation Services Ltd is a UK-based aviation consultancy founded in September 2007 by Andy Pearman, a former British Airways engineer with 30 years of tenure plus 5 years at Avtrac UK. The firm provides technical aviation consultancy services to airlines, aircraft lessors, financial institutions, corporate and private jet owners, OEMs, and maintenance organisations. Service lines include airworthiness audits and compliance reviews, aircraft delivery/re-delivery representation, technical inspections and maintenance representation, asset management and mid-term audits, pre-purchase inspections, repossession and recovery, engine records management, landing-gear back-to-birth traceability, and AMOS maintenance control system migration support.

The company operates as a project-based professional services firm rather than a software product company. It employs approximately 10 people, including Andy Pearman (Managing Director and Airworthiness Consultant), Sharon Pearman (Director and Business Administration Manager), and roughly 8 associate consultants strategically positioned across the UK, Ukraine, Ecuador, Turkey, Cyprus, India, and the USA to deliver rapid on-site client response. The team's credentials include long-tenure former employees of British Airways, British Caledonian, FedEx, DHL (Bahrain), LAN Ecuador, and Monarch Airlines, providing deep coverage across Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and ATR platforms. Revenue is generated through quote-based project engagements, with no subscription model, no publicly disclosed pricing, and no disclosed financials. The firm has no app, no API, no funding history, and no M&A activity; marketing is limited to the corporate website, LinkedIn, and industry referrals.
