Pula Aviation Services (PAS), based on Guernsey in the Channel Islands, has acquired UK-based aircraft repair provider Jet Maintenance International (JMI).
Established in 2018, JMI provides base maintenance, line support, and AOG services to aircraft throughout the UK and Europe, specializing in engine and airframe maintenance, structural repairs, avionics upgrades, interior modifications, and aircraft paint support. It operates from an 18,000-sq-ft hangar at London Oxford Airport (EGTK) and also has a line station at London Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB).
JMI founder Ed Griffith will remain with the company as managing director of the new PAS subsidiary. PAS’s other businesses include ASG and Centerline, which operate FBOs and provide maintenance at Guernsey (EGJB)  and Bristol (EGGD) airports, respectively; parts supply firm Airpart; and Pula Aircraft Sales.
“This acquisition aligns with our group strategy to expand core capabilities across the aviation support services,” said PAS group CEO Steve Page. “JMI complements our existing aircraft maintenance offering at ASG, our parts supply business Airpart, and our special missions aircraft operations. It broadens our maintenance approvals, particularly across the Textron jet series and Dassault Falcons, unlocking further opportunities for growth across the group.”
