JETS, the expanding business aviation MRO, owned by the 328 Group, has announced the promotion of Phil Grey to Continuing Airworthiness, Planning and Technical Services Manager for its Bournemouth and London Biggin Hill facilities, effective immediately.  Since 2008 Phil has held the position of Continuing Airworthiness Manager, Bournemouth responsible for EASA Part M and Sub Parts G and I requirements for the company's growing range of MRO capabilities.

In his newly expanded role covering both JETS' facilities, he will be responsible for all aspects of technical services and planning in relation to EASA Part 145 operations.
