This strategic hire underscores FCG OPS’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Asia. By tapping into India’s rapidly growing aviation sector, FCG OPS aims to deliver its industry-leading services to a broader client base, foster new partnerships and provide seamless support for operators across the subcontinent.
Yuri Nadezhdin, Director of Business Development, says: “We are happy to welcome Balan to the FCG OPS team. His deep understanding of the Indian market and unmatched operational experience align perfectly with our vision for growth.

Together we’ll reach new heights.”
In October 2024, FCG OPS appointed Thomas Smith, based in Hong-Kong, as a Business Development Manager for the APAC region, and Balan Varma’s appointment marks the next strategic step forward in FCG OPS’s goal to become one of the preferred trip support providers in the APAC region. With his leadership, the company is well-positioned to fulfill its promise of efficiency, quality, and customer-centric solutions in one of the world’s most dynamic aviation markets.
