Global Trek Aviation, an FBO based at Belfast International airport, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Since its inception in 2015 as the first facility of its kind at Belfast, the company has rapidly established itself as a key player in both the regional and international aviation sectors. This year also marks the fifth anniversary of its FBO at Cardiff International airport.

In 2015, Global Trek Aviation set out with a clear vision: to provide world-class aviation services that would meet the growing demand for business aviation and ground handling at Belfast and beyond. Over the years, this vision materialised into a well-established brand recognised for its exceptional service standards, reliability and customer-focused approach. What began as a small operation has now evolved into a full-service aviation provider with a track record of accomplishments from being recognised as a NATA Safety 1st FBO to the IS-BAH Stage II accreditation in May last year for its safety management systems.

A significant aspect of Global Trek Aviation's growth has been its commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience. From the moment clients arrive at Belfast International, they are greeted with personalised, efficient service that ensures a smooth and seamless journey. Whether it's arranging luxury ground transportation, offering private lounges for passengers or handling the intricacies of flight planning and logistics, Global Trek Aviation has built a reputation for excellence in every aspect of its operations. It is this attention to detail and dedication to client satisfaction that has garnered the company a loyal and diverse client base, from business leaders and celebrities to corporate fleets and government agencies.

Beyond its customer service, Global Trek Aviation has also gained recognition for its cutting-edge facilities and equipment. The company has invested heavily in state-of-the-art facilities, in-house security screening, ground support equipment, dedicated refuelling fleet and staff training, ensuring that it can support a wide range of aircraft types, from small private jets to large commercial aircraft. This level of investment not only positions Global Trek as a leading provider but also underscores its commitment to the safety and efficiency of every flight it supports.

But perhaps the most significant achievement of the past decade has been the company's commitment to its people. The success of Global Trek Aviation is rooted in the dedication and expertise of its employees. By fostering a culture of professionalism and continuous improvement, Global Trek Aviation has built a team that shares the company's values and vision. This emphasis on employee development, safety and well-being has created a strong sense of loyalty and pride within the organisation, which in turn has contributed to the company's long-term success.

Commercial director Colin Gordon says: “Global Trek Aviation celebrates 10 years at Belfast and five years at Cardiff, marking a decade of excellence. Since 2015, it has grown into a leading FBO, earning NATA Safety 1st status and ISBAH Stage II accreditation. Serving corporate, VIP, and government traffic, it offers expert ground handling, private lounges, in-house security screening, and a dedicated refueling fleet. Supporting aircraft from business jets to large commercial and military flights, its focus on safety, efficiency, and staff development drives continued expansion. As global aviation evolves, Global Trek Aviation remains a trusted partner for premium, seamless service.”
