Butler was director of sales and marketing at Zodiac Aerospace for nearly five years before becoming chief commercial officer with Ascent in August 2018. He brings more than sixteen years of aerospace engineering experience, including as value stream manager for TE Connectivity and project engineer for Rockwell Collins.  

Ascent will launch IAI’s first 777-300ERSF conversion line in North America by yearend after breaking ground on two hangars at Pinal Air Park in Marana, Ariz. (MZJ), on April 2.  

The hangars, which measure 300 feet by 300 feet, will be able to house one 777-300ER each, enabling Ascent to convert two widebody freighters simultaneously.  

In addition to the upcoming touch labor and conversion line support, Ascent also provides heavy maintenance, conformity checks, flight line support and end-of-life management of regional, narrowbody and widebody aircraft.  

The 30th Cargo Facts Symposium will take place Oct. 14-16 at the Omni Hotel in San Diego. Gain valuable insights, success strategies and networking opportunities at this special anniversary event. Learn more and register today to take advantage of our early-bird sale.
