Up and Away acquires Avialogistics

Up and Away Aviation has completed the purchase of aircraft valet company Avialogistics from Gama Aviation. The deal was agreed on June 1.

Under the terms of the agreement all Avialogistics assets will be rebranded Up and Away, with all employees moving to the Up and Away Aviation team. The company will also move its head office to TAG Farnborough Airport.

Stefan Murphy said: “We already have a good fixed and mobile network but plan to increase our manpower with the aim of being able to work from a growing number of locations.”

Up and Away serves the UK market and provides high quality detailing and valet services to a predominantly business aviation client base.

The purchase is the first in what Up and Away Aviation’s Murphy hopes will be a series of acquisitions that will support the company’s expansion into new markets.

“We are a well-established brand with a core client base and now is the time for us to develop opportunities and explore horizons further afield,” added Murphy.

Murphy said: “We work very closely with crew and understand that a single source providing all of these services is often much more useful than having to make any number of calls.”

Up and Away are planning to develop their services and build relationships with FBOs, MROs and completions companies.
