Mengel brings more than 35 years of aerospace and defense experience, with a track record of growing engine overhaul businesses and expanding capabilities. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President of Regional One's Engine Division.

"ATS has built a strong reputation as a trusted partner to PT6A operators around the world, and I am excited to join the Company at such a pivotal point in its growth journey," said Mengel. "The team has done tremendous work expanding the global capabilities and footprint, and I look forward to building on that foundation and deepening our operational excellence, growing our aftermarket platform and continuing to deliver the reliability our customers depend on."

Gomez brings more than 25 years of finance leadership across aerospace, aviation MRO and international operations. Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Citadel Completions, partnering with the CEO on strategy, capital allocation and organic growth and was integral in scaling its VVIP interiors and MRO business, integrating several strategic acquisitions. His background also includes senior finance leadership roles at AMETEK, where he led finance for an aerospace division spanning 11 manufacturing and MRO facilities. At Fairmount Santrol, he led finance for a $400 million division through the company's IPO. Gomez began his career at Diamond Offshore Drilling, with leadership assignments in South Africa and Malaysia.
