Management
Steven Earle – President
Steve was co-founder and former CEO of AirSea Lines International (Canada) Limited. ASL was successful in developing the first scheduled service seaplane operation in the EU. As no scheduled seaplane operations existed, this process involved the entire development of the regulatory framework, the design and operation of the physical infrastructure including aquatic aerodromes and the recruitment and training of the required human resources. It also involved the branding and marketing of the entirely new concept to the flying public, the sourcing and acquisition of specialized aircraft and funding of the enterprise with over €25,000,000 in private equity from individual and institutional investors.
As founder and President of Gravitas Aviation Limited Steve continues the acquisition, lease and finance of DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft and, through Gravitas Aviation advisory services, the development of seaplane aviation operations on behalf of client/partners worldwide.
