Complex and challenging, globally networked, highly regulated, and safety-critical – yet also influenced by market forces and ‘shocks' – it's hardly surprising that few firms can claim to understand the aviation industry truly. We do. With more than 4,000 successful projects delivered in over 100 countries for over 50 years, Egis has been dedicated to ensuring safe, smooth, and sustainable aviation for all who fly. Our teams consist of consultants, engineers, and operational experts based in several locations, primarily in France, the UK, the Middle East, and Asia. From consulting to operations, through engineering and project management, we address the global needs of all our customers, including ANSPs, industry players, and governments, enhancing the efficiency and safety of operations through nearly every significant change in the industry.
