Alliance Aviation Services has appointed aviation industry veteran Steven Greenway as its new Chief Executive Officer, with Greenway set to take charge of the Australian specialist aviation company from October 1.
Greenway will succeed Stewart Tully, who is stepping down as Managing Director and CEO after more than 11 years with Alliance. Tully will remain with the company until October 29 to support an orderly leadership transition.
Greenway brings more than 25 years of international aviation leadership experience across Australia, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Most recently, he served as CEO of flyadeal, the low-cost airline subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Saudia Group, until April 2026.
His previous leadership roles include senior positions at WestJet and its Swoop subsidiary, reward-U, Scoot and Mango Aviation Partners.
Alliance said the leadership transition comes as the company enters its next phase of strategic execution, following a revised wet lease agreement with Qantas and organisational changes announced earlier this month.

During Tully’s tenure, Alliance expanded and diversified its operations, strengthened long-term customer relationships, invested in its fleet and engineering capabilities, and reinforced its position as a specialist aviation services provider in Australia.
As CEO, Greenway will oversee Alliance’s continued strategy as a FIFO-focused aviation provider. Chairman James Jackson said the board was confident Greenway would build on the company’s operational, commercial and cultural foundations while supporting sustainable long-term growth.
Greenway said he was looking forward to working with Alliance’s board, leadership team and employees to strengthen the business and maintain high standards of service, safety and reliability.
Alliance Aviation provides ACMI, contract and charter airline services across Australasia and operates a fleet of more than 70 aircraft. Its customers include organisations in the mining, energy and government sectors, while the company also provides wet lease services to airlines including Qantas and Virgin Australia.
