Texas-based airline and airport services provider PrimeFlight Aviation Services has acquired ground service equipment maintenance specialist Global Aviation Services, a business unit of Air T, Inc.

Established in 2007, Global Aviation has grown to nearly 300 employees and services both commercial and general aviation FBO equipment. “PrimeFlight’s strong management team and focus on customer service match well with our best-in-class GSE maintenance services and customer-first culture,” noted Brad Osborn, Global’s CEO. “They bring immediate growth opportunities and a commitment to investment and expansion.”

For PrimeFlight, which offers a range of aviation services including ground handling, into-plane fueling, facilities management, and aircraft cleaning, this latest purchase allows it to move further into equipment support and repair.

“We are excited to improve our GSE maintenance capabilities by adding Global Aviation Services to the PrimeFlight network, said company CEO Dan Bucaro. “This acquisition allows us to serve our customers with GSE maintenance services at more than 80 airports in the U.S.”
