As one of the leading lights of the region’s burgeoning aviation industry, Vito Gomes is playing a vital role in one of the sector’s less famous, but no less crucial segments. Since 2005, Gomes has devoted himself to setting up his own company, Aviation Services Management (ASM). Just one year prior to his current venture, Gomes set up Experts Commercial Agency, now better known as Maximus. His experience in the sector is serving him well; in the 1990s, Gomes took up the opportunity to set up and manage a cargo airline (GATS), as well as EMEX Aviation, which was based at Abu Dhabi International Airport. In total, Gomes possesses some 16 years of hands-on experience in the aviation industry.
