Driving Engine Maintenance Economics via the GA Telesis Ecosystem By Jason Reed

Having the pleasure of working in the aviation environment for nearly 30 years has undoubtedly taught me about the cyclical trends we see each year in the life of the airline industry. However, it is the innovations that are introduced during these cycles that have a lasting impact on the success of the industry as a whole. Regardless, there is a constant search for growth, balance, consistency in load factors, and matching operational requirements that… Read more

Redefining Commercial Aircraft “Mid-Life” Assets: Emphasizing Maturity and Proven Value By Marc Cho

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of commercial aviation investment and finance, the terminology used to describe an asset class or segment can have meaningful implications. One commonly used term, “mid-life aircraft,” often carries connotations that fail to accurately reflect the value, performance, and economic potential of these assets versus some undefined age metric, typically an asset over 12 years of age. It’s time for the industry to shift its narrative and recognize these assets… Read more

Conquering Self-Doubt: It’s Not About Surviving – It’s About Thriving By Abdol Moabery

Throughout my career, I’ve faced plenty of high-pressure situations—making life-altering decisions, leading complex negotiations, and even serving in the military. But the moment I felt the most nervous might surprise you. It wasn’t during a significant business deal or a critical decision like quitting my job to start GA Telesis just a year after getting married and a month after my son was born. I was most nervous when I gave a commencement speech at… Read more

The Distinct Paths of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs: A Deep Dive into the Curse of a Mind That Never Shuts Off – By Abdol Moabery

I am constantly asked about my view on entrepreneurship. So, I think it is important to make an important distinction first. In the world of commerce, the terms “business owner” and “entrepreneur” are often used interchangeably, yet they represent distinct mindsets and approaches to creating and sustaining ventures. Understanding these differences can illuminate the unique challenges each faces, particularly the entrepreneur’s relentless pursuit of continuous innovation, improvement, and expansion. The Business Owner: A Steady Hand… Read more

Coast 2 Coast – Across Ireland on 2 Wheels / By Justin Lambourne

I have always enjoyed cycling, its sense of nostalgia takes me back to being a child roaming the streets on my BMX during the endlessly rainy school holidays (I grew up in the UK, remember). Its shared history with aviation inspires me, the Wright Brothers were bike mechanics that learnt to fly (one of the Wright Brothers innovations – the left-handed pedal thread, is still used on almost all bikes today). In the golden ages… Read more

Going Green at GA Telesis / By Dr. Andreas Bauer

GA Telesis headquarters is a large consumer of electricity by virtue of air conditioning and lighting a 140,000 square foot multi-story HQ building. A few years ago, our former head of global operations and now VP of Turbine Solutions, Alex Tuttle, started these green initiatives by initiating a plan to change classic warehouse lighting to T5 lights with motion sensors. I was amazed to see the huge impact that this lighting initiative had on monthly… Read more

Thanks For Caring About My Success / By Cesar Morales

Looking back on a 29-year career in aviation, I am reminded of all the people I met along the way, but especially of those certain individuals who went that extra mile to help me advance my career and ultimately, land where I am today. From my very first role in aviation, working on the dismantling of a DC-8, I have focused on learning and soaking up knowledge like a sponge. And along with that enthusiasm,… Read more

Millennial and Gen-Z Interns – YUCK? NOT HARDLY! / By Abdol Moabery

Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with the 2018 Intern Class at GA Telesis. This is an annual thing we do where they get to spend some time with me, talk about what they have learned, ask questions of me and let’s remember they are young students – so there is nothing like a free lunch. With all that is being said about the work ethic and philosophy of Millennials and Generation Z… Read more

Experience: There is No Substitute / By Marc Cho

I have been fortunate to work with some amazing professionals across a spectrum of institutions over the first 20 years of my career in aviation. While it is cliché to say there is no substitute for experience, I have come to appreciate that adage even more since joining GA Telesis. Over the past five years, it has become very evident that investor interest in the aviation sector has never been stronger and new capital continues… Read more
