Bruce Dickinson, who established the company with Mario Fulgoni said: “I have been keen to spread our coverage.

Now that we have partners on the west coast of Ireland (NAAS announced last week it had established an EMEA headquarters at Shannon Airport, Ireland) next we move east!” Fulgoni is delighted that the joint venture adds to the experience within the Cardiff Aviation group, as well as provides it with a worldwide distribution network and a presence at Shannon.
