HAMILTON — BermudAir has named Nico Buchholz as President and Deputy CEO of the company, effective August 2024.

“We are absolutely delighted that Nico is joining us as President and Deputy CEO,” said Adam Scott, founder and CEO of BermudAir. “There’s no doubt that the significant technical expertise and deep business development insights he brings will be invaluable as the company moves forward from start-up to the next phase of our evolution.”

Buchholz started his 30+ year aviation career at Airbus in Toulouse in product marketing and sales. He later moved to the engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce Deutschland. This was followed by running the entire fleet management for all airlines in the Lufthansa Group. He shaped the development of Lufthansa Group’s fleets for 15 years, and followed that stint with various leadership positions and global assignments within a portfolio of airlines, lessors and OEMs.

“I am honoured to support and guide the dedicated BermudAir team on their growth path,” said Buchholz. “Having seen the deep motivation and individual competencies within the team, we’re well-placed to continue the success and development of BermudAir.”

Last month BermudAir named Leslie Peden as Sr. VP, Sales & Distribution. From Canada, BermudAir offers twice weekly service to Bermuda out of Halifax.
