Avia Solutions Group has named Zilvinas Lapinskas as its new Chief Executive Officer, entrusting him with leading the company’s next phase of international growth. Lapinskas, who previously transformed FL Technics from a regional maintenance provider into a globally operating MRO business, officially assumed the role on 7 July while remaining a member of the Group’s Board of Directors. He will continue to oversee FL Technics until the end of July, when a successor is expected to take over.
The leadership change also sees long-serving CEO Jonas Janukenas transition to the role of Chief Financial Officer after nearly nine years at the helm. In his new position, Janukenas will focus on capital allocation, financial strategy, and supporting the Group’s long-term expansion plans, while ensuring continuity during the leadership transition.
Lapinskas described the appointment as an opportunity to build on the company’s strong foundation and to further strengthen its global presence. “Our immediate priority is to reinforce our operational footprint and develop the long-term partnerships that will support sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive market,” he said. Chairman and founder Gediminas Ziemelis said the new leadership structure positions Avia Solutions Group to continue its international expansion, combining Lapinskas’ operational expertise with Janukenas’ deep financial and strategic knowledge.
