Asif Alikhan

GA Telesis (GAT) has appointed Asif Alikhan as Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial & Revenue Officer of its Flight Solutions Group (FSG) business unit. Alikhan moves into the role from within the GA Telesis organisation, where he previously held a senior commercial leadership position at GA Telesis Engine Services (GATES).

In his new role, Alikhan will lead all global commercial and revenue-generation initiatives across the Flight Solutions Group, including sales strategy, commercial execution, strategic partnerships and customer engagement. He will focus on accelerating top-line growth, optimising commercial performance and expanding FSG’s global market presence.

Alikhan brings extensive experience in the aviation aftermarket and a strong track record in revenue leadership. During his tenure at GATES, he played a key role in driving commercial expansion, strengthening relationships with airlines and lessors, and advancing long-term service agreements within the engine ecosystem. His leadership helped position GATES as a competitive and growing engine MRO platform within the broader GA Telesis ecosystem.

His experience builds on a more than 25-year aviation career that includes a long tenure at GE Aerospace, where he held roles across commercial engine and services sales, component systems engineering and military aftermarket sales. During this time, he led complex global sales campaigns, managed product revenue performance and drove international improvement initiatives.
