Content Body

Latvia-based FCG OPS has partnered with Spanish FBO operator General Aviation Service (GAS) in a move that will extend FCG’s ground-handling network to include eight FBOs operated by GAS. Founded in 1979, GAS now has bases in Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Granada, Gerona, and Ibiza, and the deal will allow FCG to offer a full range of ground handling services in the region, including aircraft handling and refueling, flight permit assistance, and travel services.


The partnership comes in response to FCG’s goal to expand its presence in Western Europe and its desire to meet the increasing demand for handling services in the area. “We receive a growing number of requests from our customers for services in locations beyond our ground handling network—and this is no coincidence,” said FCG OPS CEO Sergey Starkov. “Our services are provided under the strict control of our certified specialists across all FCG OPS stations.”


FCG OPS—part of the Flight Consulting Group (Booth H41), which also operates FBO Riga at Riga International Airport—has a ground-handling network that covers more than 40 airports in 28 countries throughout the Baltics, Scandinavia, the CIS, and Eastern Europe.


“We highly appreciate our long-term cooperation with FCG OPS and its high-class specialists,” added GAS commercial director Eugene Shadov. “Moving to a new level of relationship, we can qualitatively render services to their customers through our FBOs in Spain.”
