A return to airline management commenced with China Airlines (CAL), followed by eight years with Air Malta, where as UK General Manager he was instrumental in restructuring the airline's UK operations for Malta's 2004 entry into the EU. Following a period at Air Mauritius as Regional Manager UK, in 2007 he joined a management buyout of specialist aviation and travel consultancy KTA Public Relations.
