Pula Aviation Services has successfully completed Gulfstream aircraft ground handling and servicing training at its FBO facilities; ASG in Guernsey, Channel Islands and Centreline at Bristol airport in the UK.

This specialised training, provided by Gulfstream in partnership with FlightSafety International, is designed for line service technicians to enhance dispatch reliability and uphold the highest safety standards for Gulfstream aircraft and their support teams. The programme covers key best practices for handling and servicing Gulfstream aircraft, including procedures for parking, fuelling, towing, walkarounds, snow and ice removal, and more. The training applies to both large-cabin Gulfstream models (G350, G450, G500, G550 and G650) and mid-cabin models (G150, G200 and G280), ensuring comprehensive expertise across the Gulfstream fleet.

Richard Morrison, head of FBO, comments: “We’re delighted to have our FBO teams fully certified through Gulfstream’s training programme. This achievement strengthens our operational capabilities and also reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest standards of safety and service to our clients. Both facilities are now primed for their next Gulfstream aircraft arriving.”

Gulfstream recognises FBOs that achieve 100 per cent certification for their line technicians. Centreline’s Bristol FBO recently celebrated reaching this milestone, with Gavin Thompson and Jack McGown joining to mark the accomplishment.
