Founders James W. Foster and Achma Asokan began the AirlinePros journey as Group Systems America Inc. in 1999 in the USA. Jim began his career with Northwest Airlines and worked as Managing Director in Hongkong and Denmark. Later he returned to Hongkong as COO of Dragon Air. In 1999 Jim started his own consultancy in airline representation and distribution. Achma, a finance professional, started her career in aviation as an Interline Accounts Supervisor in Air Namibia and worked her way up to become the Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary. Subsequently, she worked with Air Seychelles in Mahe, IATA in Geneva, and American Express in the US before joining Jim in 2005.

In 2018, responding to significant demand from many clients, AirlinePros began its global expansion. Today, the AirlinePros International Global Network covers over 40 countries across 5 continents, servicing and supporting more than 60 commercial airlines.

The Core Management Partners, who are airline professionals, were carefully selected by Jim and Achma to support with the global expansion. Most of our people have been with us through the ups and downs of the industry. The COVID pandemic made us stronger, wiser and more agile. Today the tide has turned, and we are experiencing tailwinds that are taking us to newer heights, faster. We partner with professionals who share our values in delivering unparalleled value for our clients. Our global network professionals are focused on increasing revenues and reducing costs for our partners in the industry. Our expertise and experience stretch across the breadth and depth of the aviation industry including airlines, airports, travel service providers, associated industry facilitators (IATA, ARC, ICAO, ACI, etc) and the aviation regulatory environment.
