The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) has named Roshan Joshi as its new Technical Head from April 1, 2023.

Joshi joins the Association after a 40-year career in aviation, having served in various senior management roles in flight operations within the Singapore Airlines Group, notably Singapore Airlines and Vistara Airlines. 

AAPA said in a statement that with his experience gained in the areas of fleet management, corporate safety, security and quality, Joshi is a highly-respected industry professional with the necessary expertise to lead the Association's Technical Department and manage multiple stakeholder relationships in technical areas.

"AAPA is privileged to have someone of Roshan's calibre join the Association. His extensive experience in key technical areas, such as safety, security, flight operations and aviation sustainability, are well aligned with AAPA’s priorities and very timely after the retirement of his predecessor Martin Eran-Tasker in 2020," said Subhas Menon, AAPA director general, in welcoming Joshi.

"We look forward to working with Captain Joshi to further the mission and work of the Association in serving its members," the AAPA chief added.
