JSSI Adds Technician to Support Growing Airframe Fleet – Rodrigo Castelo Branco

JSSI Adds Technician to Support Growing Airframe Fleet – Rodrigo Castelo Branco

JSSI is thrilled to announce the newest addition to its technical services team – Rodrigo Castelo Branco. Rodrigo will work to support JSSI’s growing airframe fleet in Brazil and Latin America.

Rodrigo brings almost 30 years of business aviation experience mainly focused on maintenance. Prior to joining JSSI, he spent 28 years at Líder Aviação, holding the Maintenance Manager position since 2010, where we oversaw a team of 60 technical and administrative employees as he managed the maintenance for all third-party aircraft and the company’s own fleet.

Rodrigo holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC-MG), as well as specializations in Integrated Management Systems from the Pontifical Catholic University and Management with Emphasis in Projects from Fundação Dom Cabral. Additionally, he has completed over 15 business aviation complementary courses and certifications throughout his career.

“Rodrigo is a tremendous addition to JSSI’s support team. He has dedicated the majority of his career to business aircraft maintenance and spent many years at a leading service center in Brazil, which had authorizations to work across a wide range of aircraft manufacturers. His extensive hangar experience and deep technical expertise will be invaluable in supporting our clients’ airframe maintenance needs. I’m genuinely excited to welcome him to JSSI.” said David Caporali, SVP of Strategy, and Head of Business Development for the Latin America.

Join us in welcoming Rodrigo to the JSSI family!
