Global Aviation Services in growth mode

Global Aviation Services has announced the acquisition of D&D GSE Support, a leading ground support equipment maintenance provider serving Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport. The acquisition further enhances Global’s market position in South Florida and marks the company’s first acquisition. Global has said that it intends to pursue continued expansion by acquiring high quality GSE maintenance businesses across the country.

“I’ve spent nearly 50 years in the GSE maintenance business. We started D&D over 14 years ago to provide really good maintenance at a fair price. We worked hard every day to take care of our customers and to take care of our employees. When we started thinking about selling the business, we knew we had to find a company that shared those same values,” stated Leo Dyke, principal owner of D&D.
Brad Osborn, CEO/President of Global, echoed his comments. “We started Global in 2007, based on the same core values: doing quality work with integrity, earning your customer’s trust and caring for your team. The vision and values of both companies align very well. We have a lot of respect for the work Leo has done. This should be a positive transition for D&D’s customers and we’ll work hard to continue to care for D&D’s employees.”
With immediate effect D&D will become Global Aviation Services. Global’s transition team is already in place, ramping up for the airport’s peak season. The operation will have 14-18 technicians and will serve as a primary hub for GSE maintenance in South Florida and the Bahamas.
