He is currently a Director of Finnair. Commenting on the appointment, Anne-Bart Tieleman - CEO of TrueNoord, said: “The announcement of our new brand, new investment and enhanced management team, is further strengthened by Nigel’s decision to join us as Chairman. This is a positive development for the business as we grow the fleet to take advantage of the many opportunities being presented to us in the regional aircraft leasing sector.
Nigel’s far-reaching experience from both sides of the leasing process; understanding the needs of both lessee and lessor, will help guide TrueNoord as we define our niche strategy and step up the expansion of our leasing portfolio.” Nigel Turner, Chairman of TrueNoord, said: “With the recent consolidation in the regional aircraft leasing market TrueNoord will provide a high quality, relationship orientated approach which will provide more choices for airlines and create better opportunities for OEMs. Our ambition is to become one of the leading lessors in the regional aircraft market with the solid backing of Bregal Freshstream, and a very experienced management team led by Anne-Bart Tieleman. I am pleased to join the Board of TrueNoord and look forward with great optimism to the next few years.”
