Strategic Growth and International Expansion

The acquisition of JMC Aviation reflects LAUNCH’s commitment to expanding its international reach and capabilities.

Following the completion of the acquisition, LAUNCH will significantly enhance its capabilities in providing workforce solutions to the aviation industry. The merger expands the organization’s technical expertise, reinforcing its ability to address the dynamic and evolving needs of the aviation sector. As the industry continues to evolve, the demand for skilled technicians and engineers remains high. LAUNCH’s broader talent pool, made possible by the integration of JMC Aviation’s skilled workforce, enables the company to meet this demand at a global level.

This merger also positions LAUNCH to offer a range of specialized technical services, including MRO solutions, staffing for aviation maintenance and engineering support across commercial, business and defence aviation sectors. The expanded organization will continue to innovate, providing high-quality workforce solutions that help aviation companies maintain operational efficiency and meet industry standards.

The merger between LAUNCH and JMC Aviation marks a significant milestone in the evolution of aviation workforce solutions.
