Pula Aviation spreads its wings in ASG acquisition
GUERNSEY-based Pula Aviation Ltd is expanding its footprint in its industry.
The parent company of Centreline AV Ltd has acquired 100% of the share capital of ASG Ltd.
It is a Guernsey-based operation which specialises in business and general aviation maintenance, executive ground handling and the sale and acquisition of business aircraft.
Together with Centreline AV, ASG Ltd will form part of a new group holding company, Pula Aviation Services Ltd.
It will offer aircraft management and charter, maintenance, aircraft sales and executive ground handling, supported by a 100-strong workforce.
Centreline CEO Tanya Raynes will become chairwoman of the new Pula Aviation Services in March, when she will relinquish her day to day role with Centreline. Steve Page, who has led ASG since 2014, becomes CEO of the new company.
‘With two established and successful businesses coming together, we are excited to be creating a new, one-call, privately- owned aviation group,’ said Ms Raynes.
‘We are combining Centreline’s and ASG’s strong entrepreneurial spirit and customer service values, and I believe this to be the perfect platform to support Pula Aviation’s ambitious plans for growth.’
Colin Pickard, director of Pula Aviation, said: ‘The creation of Pula Aviation Services is a key element of our expansion plans and I am delighted that Tanya Raynes and Steve Page have agreed to lead this exciting new business.’
