What I love about our industry and GA Telesis is that they are global and dynamic! What I dislike is its cyclical nature. In Q1 of 2020, I was feeling perhaps, that cycles were a thing of the past and that our industry was headed towards new perpetual growth horizons. Then, when you least expect it, a pandemic caused global aviation traffic to decline 65.9%. However, change is the law of life, and change offers… Read more
If you follow aviation news, you will know that GA Telesis has continued to invest in its business despite the ongoing pandemic. In the last year, you have seen press releases announcing that GA Telesis has acquired a fleet of 777 aircraft for future part out and lease and converted two 737-800’s from passenger to freighter configuration. GAT has also launched several new divisions: GAT Logistics Solutions Group (shipping and warehousing) and Tarmac Solutions Group… Read more
Have you ever glanced up towards the sky and wondered, “How and why do planes fly so high?” Divine in their miraculous splendor, aircraft are able to safely soar high above because they are composed of many components that come together to subvert the most obvious laws of physics. Unbeknownst to many, aircraft are modern wonders that would not be the great marvels they are today without quality and engineering. Building upon the foundation laid during… Read more

March is Women’s History Month. Which is a great time to tell the world why women are beyond awesome in so many ways. While I could probably write a book on a thousand reasons, I thought I would share five very powerful ones on why women are awesome in one crucial area: technology. Let’s start with the fact that it’s not as common as it should be that women should be headlining our technology news.… Read more
I’m not a LinkedIn “pro”. I’m a 25-year professional for 12 years on LinkedIn and through nearly as many startups, engaging (and being engaged) by thousands on LinkedIn. As we continue our enforced adjustment to a New Virtual Normal, millions on LinkedIn are experiencing a high frequency of engagement. Pouring in daily from every corner of the globe, we see mail from lead services, marketing, websites, and business loans, to legal, social, COVID cleaning, and… Read more
The MRO Services Group and GA Telesis ended 2019 on a high note. Achieving new financial performance records and our legendary holiday party was the best one ever! As we bid farewell to 2019, we were excited to roll into 2020 with a set of goals and objectives that would bring us to another record year, and we were armed with new customer agreements to make it happen. January 2020 began like any other year… Read more
Technology purists today will argue the actual validity for a need, or practical use of, decentralized ledger technology. In this argument, the purist might also typically assert with snub-nosed confidence that (relatively) everything a blockchain does can be solved with routine development and automation in the cloud. Fortunately for all of us, this is not the case. This is why it is important to understand blockchain’s value to business before diving into the hype. This means having a few… Read more
Today, no matter what industry you serve, you are probably aware of two buzz-worthy terms: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain. As an executive or IT professional, you may be wondering how I can get past the hype and leverage these technologies to create value in my organization? What is AI? Artificial Intelligence or AI simply refers to a machine mirroring human behavior. This behavior can generally be classified to have a narrow or general focus.… Read more
In February 2020, when COVID-19 became a global issue, #GA Telesis’s leadership team did not panic. The Company has been serving customers successfully for more than eighteen years and has seen several disruptive cycles in the aviation industry. As a resilient team, this unique experience positioned the team to quickly mobilize and provide the necessary support to our employees while not losing sight of our customers’ needs that were carrying much-needed supplies of medical equipment… Read more
