Bruce Dickinson takes on new aviation role
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 22 November 2013
Iron Maiden frontman and plane flyer Bruce Dickinson has been named Non-Executive Chairman of Aeris Aviation, the European distributor of Eclipse aircraft.
Says Dickinson: “There are no other twin engine jets that can come close to the Eclipse in terms of cost and economy and, with a range in excess of 1000 nautical miles, it is ideal for Europe. It is great to fly and I am excited by the future for this remarkable aircraft”.
So bear that in mind next time you’re looking to buy a new commercial aircraft. As previously reported, Dickinson launched his own aviation training and maintenance firm last year, called Cardiff Aviation, of which he is also Chairman. Both companies are now in discussions about ways in which they can work together.
