Aviation experts Bryson Monteleone, founder of BPMaero LLC and formerly with PwC Ireland, and Philip Carey, founder of Engage Aviation, have partnered to launch BRAVODELTA Aero-Ops (BRAVODELTA). The new venture will specialise in providing strategic transactional support for complex aircraft trades often considered challenging within the market.
With more than three decades of combined advisory and trading experience, the BRAVODELTA team has already shown its ability to trade aircraft previously regarded as “untradeable.”
“We have designed BRAVODELTA to work specifically on selective transactions where our expertise, acumen and network can provide substantial value for owners,” said Bryson Monteleone, Principal at BRAVODELTA. “We intend to focus on trades that require more time and attention. Demand for this support continues as certain aircraft remain out of reach due to regulatory or other constraints. Our network includes parties who recognise the long-term value of trading unencumbered aircraft. Current opportunities span mainline passenger and freighter aircraft, business jets and even military platforms.”
Monteleone brings nearly 30 years of experience across corporate and commercial aviation, particularly in aviation finance. His background includes aircraft appraisal, valuation, lease advisory, technical consulting, and remarketing. At PwC Ireland, he served as senior advisor within the Aviation Finance Advisory Services team, where he led portfolio valuation, due diligence, and transaction advisory work. He is currently a member of the ISTAT Board of Directors Executive Committee and serves on the Board of Impact, an organisation supporting sustainable aviation.
Phil Carey founded Engage Aviation in 2006, building a reputation for client-focused services and strategic fleet management. His expertise spans collaboration with major financial institutions and leasing firms on aircraft sales and fleet optimisation. Under his leadership, Engage Aviation became a respected player in the sector, recognised for its innovative approach and high standards.
