Press Release: 4th February 2026
IBA & Shannon Technical Services In Partnership
IBA and STS Launch Asset Management and Technical Advisory Services Partnership
IBA Group Limited and Shannon Technical Services (STS) have announced a new partnership designed to meet increasing demand from aircraft lessors, airlines, and MROs for integrated aircraft data, advisory, and technical support services.
The overlap of services between IBA and STS creates a unique and powerful offering for the aviation sector, benefiting customers, partners, and employees of both companies.
The partnership is strategically focused on specific areas where the technical and advisory capabilities of IBA and STS complement one another. Rather than a broad service integration, the agreement establishes a structured approach to co-operation on defined technical functions, including engine borescope inspections, CAMO and Part 21 services, enhanced by aircraft valuations and aviation data.
In addition to reviewing existing projects and workflows, relevant future customer programmes will be offered on an integrated basis to deliver maximum benefit. This will directly contribute to IBA and STS’s continued ability to provide optimum support and “best-in-class” services to their respective clients.
