Aventure's Mike Kitchener at MRO Europe in Barcelona. Aventure attended events on three continents last month, including the Hercules Orion Conference (HOC) and Technical Coordination Group (TCG) in the United States, MRO Europe in Spain, and the Aircraft Asset Management Forum (AAMF) and Cargo Aircraft Management Forum (CAMF) in China. Held in Atlanta and Orlando, HOC and TCG were attended by Aventure's military division, including senior VP Amyr Qureshi, director of military sales Osman Faruqi, manager of military sales Ron Taylo, and military accounts manager Nawal Lodi. MRO Europe brought senior director for EMEA Mike Kitchener to Barcelona, where he was able to connect with various contacts from the European market. To round out October, Aventure's customer support manager for China, Jason Liu, attended AAMF and CAMF in Xiamen, China. "It was great to connect with so many Chinese airlines and MROs in one place,” said Jason. "I plan to visit several new connections in the coming weeks to continue our growth in the region." Racing for Charity on Runway of World’s Busiest Airport
(L–R) Aventure's Zaheer Faruqi, Michael Griffiths Jr., and Hamzah Faruqi, show off their credentials at the 5K. Aventure Aviation joined thousands of participants at Atlanta's annual Mayor's 5K on the 5th Runway, held October 5 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Hosted by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, this unique 5K allows participants to compete for charity on one of the world's busiest and most important runways at the busiest airport on the planet. The 5th runway sees over 100,000 landings and takeoffs yearly. The length of a 5K race is 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), a distance favored among new and experienced runners alike. Attending for Aventure was CEO Zaheer Faruqi, director of sales Hamzah Faruqi, and marketing associate Michael Griffiths Jr. This year marks the tenth anniversary of this iconic race, which welcomes participants of all abilities, ages ten and older. Over $200,000 was raised for the Mayor's Youth Scholarship Program and the United Way of Greater Atlanta. "It was amazing to represent Aventure and run for a cause that means a lot to me," said Michael. Annual Meeting Brings Aventure's Global Sales Team to Atlanta
Aventure Aviation staff volunteer at the Midwest Food Bank while in town for the Aventure global sales team meeting. Aventure's global sales team met at the company's Atlanta headquarters last month for a week of meetings and events. Staff from Canada, Pakistan, India, the UK, China, and Turkey met with their U.S.-based colleagues to discuss sales strategies, long-term planning, and view Aventure's new state-of-the-art office and warehouse, presently under construction. Among the events was a presentation by Miguel Hernandez, CEO of Rreal Taco. He shared valuable insights on his company's rapid growth in the Atlanta area, leaving attendees full of inspiration. In keeping with Aventure's culture of giving back, the team assisted the local Midwest Food Bank, packaging food, water, and other goods to send to those affected by Hurricane Helene. "The week was a truly enriching experience," said sales manager for Asia, Salman Basheer. "It deepened our understanding of company goals, strengthened relationships, and inspired us to think creatively about our roles." "Such visits are essential for fostering a collaborative work environment, reminding us that we are all working towards a common goal," added administrative director Kimberly Gay. The week ended with dinner for Aventure staff and family at a local catering hall. President Talha Faruqi spoke about Aventure's success over the past year, and thanked the team for making it possible. He also updated them on the company's plans for the future, including the new headquarters to be completed in 2025. Stunt Pilot and Activist Remembered for Native American History Month
November is Native American History Month, where we explore the heritage, culture, experience, and contributions of America's Indigenous peoples. Aventure would like to take this opportunity to highlight Eula Carter Scott. Born December 9, 1915, Eula "Pearl" Carter Scott was an American stunt pilot and political activist. In 1929, she became the youngest pilot in the United States when she took her first solo flight at the age of 13. In 1972, Scott began her work for the Chickasaw Nation. She was elected to the Chickasaw legislature in 1983, where she served three terms. Scott was a member of the International Women's Air & Space Museum, and the Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame. She was a charter member of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and was inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame in 1995. She passed away on March 28, 2005 in Oklahoma City.
