HOW WE WORK

Defined responsibility.
Direct coordination.

Agree the scope

We agree the assignment, deliverables, priorities, schedule and reporting arrangements with your technical team. Responsibilities for follow-up, acceptance and final sign-off are established at the outset.

Access and organise the records

We use your document-sharing arrangements and assess the available records against the review scope. Initial gaps and dependencies are identified early.

Review and progress findings

We carry out the technical review, document findings and assess additional evidence as it becomes available. Where included in the scope, we coordinate records follow-up directly with the operator and other project parties.

Prepare the handover

We consolidate the review status and final records set, with a clear record of resolved items and any remaining exceptions.

Project coordination and onsite representation.

Northern Aviation brings together technical records support, project coordination and onsite representation to meet the needs of each assignment. Consultants representing Northern Aviation work with your technical team and project partners to progress outstanding items and support delivery milestones.

Support is available for project assignments and ongoing technical records requirements. Scope, timing and commercial terms are discussed individually, with a clear point of contact throughout.

TRANSITION & RECORDS PLATFORMS

Experienced in your working environment.

We have experience with a range of aircraft transition and technical records platforms, including GE Aerospace’s Asset Transfer System (ATS) and AerData STREAM, as well as client document repositories and reporting tools. We work within your chosen platform to organise records, track findings and maintain a consistent view of the project.

ABOUT NORTHERN AVIATION

years of aircraft
transition experience

Independent consultancy
Direct consultant involvement

Practical experience
in aircraft transitions.

Northern Aviation is led by Jokull Gudjonsson, bringing 22 years of aircraft transition and airline support experience. We bring together the expertise required for each assignment, covering technical records, project coordination and onsite representation.

That experience spans aircraft deliveries and redeliveries, repossessions, pre-purchase inspections, mid-lease audits and fleet inductions.

Our approach is grounded in the practical demands of transition projects: large volumes of documentation, changing submissions, incomplete evidence and delivery deadlines. We focus on understanding what the records substantiate, making outstanding requirements clear and helping the project team progress them.

Based in Iceland, we support aircraft lessors and airlines internationally.
