Latvia-based FCG OPS, the ground handling division of Flight Consulting Group, has expanded its operations into Scandinavia. The company, which has established itself as a business aviation services provider throughout the CIS, Baltic States, and Eastern Europe, has begun operations at four airports in Finland: Pori, Tampere-Pirkkala, Rovaniemi, and Turku.

Among the services provided are aircraft handling, best fuel price search, concierge, catering, and limousine ground transport. “This expansion to Scandinavia is an important step for FCG OPS,” the company noted, adding careful attention to customers' needs will bring true value to this market. “This region has unique specifics which should be considered.”

Over the past few months, FCG added new ground handling locations at Rijeka and Bol in Croatia and at Banja Luka Airport in Bosnia Herzegovina, which with this latest expansion brings the company’s ground handling footprint to 41 airports in 20 countries.
