STS Component Solutions’ Tom Covella Transitions into Group Advisory Role & Promotes Timothy Russo to Division President, Component Solutions

JENSEN BEACH, Fla., December 20, 2022 — STS Component Solutions, a division of STS Aviation Group and a leading aircraft parts provider to the global aviation industry, announces that Tom Covella will transition from his role as Division President to become an Advisor to the Board of Directors. Tim Russo, STS Component Solutions’ Vice President of OEM Distribution, will succeed Covella and is being promoted to the role of Division President, effective January 1, 2023.

Russo joined STS Component Solutions in 2015 after serving 10 years at JetBlue Airways within their technical operations organization. Tim will report directly to Philip Anson Jr., CEO of STS Aviation Group.

“Tim is a fantastic choice to move into this position, and I have been working closely with both he and Tom to ensure that we have a seamless and effective transition,” states Anson. “We are very grateful to Tom for his 14-plus years of hard work and dedication, and we are excited about his desire to remain invested and engaged moving forward. Tom founded his component solutions business back in 2001, and he has been instrumental in helping the organization achieve unprecedented growth following STS’ acquisition in 2008.” Anson adds, “In Tom’s new role, we will continue to benefit from his unparalleled expertise in the aircraft components industry to help guide key growth initiatives well into the future.”

“This is a bittersweet time for me,” Covella says. “On one hand, I am moving on from the day-to-day management of a company that I founded, but on the other, I will now be afforded more time to strategize on the ambitious plans we have in place for future growth.” Tom adds, “I am fully confident that Tim will effectively lead our team going forward, and I have no doubt that the business will continue to thrive with him at the helm.”

“I am honored to take on this new leadership role, and I am energized and excited to guide the next chapter of STS Component Solutions’ growth,” says Russo. “Tom has built a great team that has proven they can meet any challenge, and I know that, together, we will continue our growth trajectory and succeed in the years to come.”

STS Aviation Group is Flying to Orlando for MRO Americas 2021

It wasn’t that long ago when conferences were commonplace throughout the global MRO industry. And with 2020 being one of the most trying years in recent memory, a year where everything changed, the STS Aviation Group team is finally ready to get back on the road once again to meet, in person, all of our business partners, colleagues and industry friends. 

This April 27 -29, STS Aviation Group will be putting its nose-to-tail aircraft maintenance solutions on display at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida for MRO Americas 2021. Our team will be stationed at booth #825, so if you and your company plan on attending the conference, fly on over to our space and say hello!

One of the key topics of discussion will no doubt be our company’s recent global expansion. A little over one year ago, we added base maintenance services in Europe with facilities at Newquay (NQY) and Birmingham (BHX) in the United Kingdom. In addition, STS Aviation Group added to its already robust aircraft interior service offerings after it acquired Airbase Canada based out of Montreal. 

But that’s not all… our global line maintenance segment has also grown. We now operate 29 active line maintenance stations in the United States and the Bahamas as well as 7 stations in the United Kingdom and France. Add three more station in Canada, and that brings our total active station count 40!

For all of us at STS Aviation Group, providing value to our customers rests at the core of everything we do. That is why our company has adopted a cross-segment business model that genuinely offers the global aerospace industry with “Total Solutions to Keep You Flying!” 

Once again, we are so excited to be heading back to MRO Americas in person this year, and we cannot wait to see you all there!
