Global aviation advisory firm Alton Aviation Consultancy is announced its international expansion with the addition of London, strengthening its global footprint to support growing client demand across the UK and Europe. As a global centre for finance and home to many of the world’s leading airports, airlines, aerospace companies, and investors in aviation, London provides a strategic base for Alton’s continued growth in the region.
The London expansion will be led by Augusto Viansson Ponte, who joins Alton as Director. He brings more than 25 years of international aviation advisory experience to his role.
Adam Cowburn, co-founder and Managing Director at Alton, says: “Expanding our presence to London gives Alton a stronger foothold in Europe, one of the most dynamic aviation markets worldwide. We are delighted to welcome Augusto as Director of our London base. His experience and insight will be instrumental as we deepen our relationships with clients across the UK and Europe.”
Throughout his career, Viansson Ponte has advised airlines, aerospace companies, and defence organisations on complex strategic and financial engagements, with expertise spanning performance improvement, operational transformation, corporate restructuring, and due diligence. Prior to Alton, he was Director of Strategy and Planning at Airline Management Group (AMG) and previously worked at major consultancies including L.E.K. Consulting and AlixPartners.
Viansson Ponte said: “I have long admired Alton’s impressive growth and the reputation it’s built as a trusted aviation advisor. The London presence further enhances the firm’s ability to offer on-the-ground support to clients across the aviation value chain, including airlines, lessors, MRO providers, investors, airports, and OEMs.”
