We have advised Pula Aviation Services Limited (PASL), a company delivering services to support aircraft ownership, management, operations and special missions, on its acquisition of UK-based aircraft maintenance provider, JMI-Jet Maintenance International Limited (JMI). 

The acquisition boosts PASL’s portfolio of aviation businesses, enhances its aircraft maintenance capabilities and expands its footprint with the addition of JMI’s well-established base at London Oxford Airport and its line station at London Biggin Hill.

JMI joins PASL’s group of operating companies, which includes ASG, Airpart, Centreline and Pula Aircraft Sales. JMI founder Ed Griffith is to remain fully involved in leading the business as Managing Director, supported by JMI’s experienced management team and the wider PASL group infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition with continued high-quality service for customers, suppliers, and staff. 

Our Corporate and M&A team advised PASL on the transaction, led by director Gregory Nash alongside partner Dominic Davis and solicitor Gina Green.

“It has been a pleasure to work with PASL on this strategic acquisition which advances its ambition to boast expanded capabilities across the aviation support services. Our expertise in the aviation sector, combined with our Corporate M&A capabilities, meant we were well positioned to facilitate a smooth and timely completion for all parties, guaranteeing a seamless transition and continuity of business for our client’s and JMI’s people and customers.”
