Denise Mangan-Fahy has been confirmed as the next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Shannon Engine Support (SES), an organisation jointly owned by AerCap and Safran Aircraft Engines, which specialises in providing spare engine leasing solutions to businesses around the globe. She will assume the role in September, succeeding Julie Dickerson, who is retiring after successfully leading the business for more than a decade.
Mangan-Fahy has worked in the aerospace industry for 35 years, beginning her career with Shannon Aerospace before joining GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) in 1998 as Vice President of Engine Management. She rose to Senior Vice President of Portfolio and Rental Operations in 2018. Following AerCap’s acquisition of GECAS from GE in 2021, she became Head of Portfolio & Rental Operations for AerCap Engines.
Mangan-Fahy takes over from Dickerson at a time when the business has grown into one of the true leaders in its field, delivering CFM engines—including the CFM56 and LEAP engine—to airline customers worldwide. The organisation aims to have 700 engines under management by the end of 2025, increasing to up to 900 by the end of 2028.
