Global private aviation group purchasing organization Aviaa has added UK-based FBO operator Global Trek Aviation to its network of preferred suppliers. Global Trek, which was founded in 2014, operates a full-service 24/7 FBO at Belfast International in Northern Ireland and earlier this year expanded to a second location with a brand new facility at Wales’ Cardiff International Airport.

Aviaa’s current operator fleet consists of North American, European, and Middle Eastern customers. Since its launch last year, the company has grown to provide procurement services for more than 1,000 aircraft and has more than 70 preferred suppliers. Its network of FBOs now totals nearly 150 members, and it uses economies of scale to negotiate discounts for its customers.

“We are committed to offering a diverse and wide range of FBOs for our members, and the high quality and variety of services Global Trek offers make their two FBOs excellent additions to our growing international FBO network,” said Irena Deville, Aviaa’s European managing director.
