2024 Overview
Celebrating a Remarkable 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025 with AES
As we welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the successes that shaped 2024 into an outstanding year for AES.
A Year of Expansion and Growth
In 2024, we expanded our global footprint by opening new workshops worldwide. Notable milestones include the launch of our maintenance facility in Hong Kong in partnership with CTAS Aviation Services Limited, alongside new operations in Serbia and Romania.
In the United States, we continued to grow our workshop network, reinforcing our position as the largest service provider for GSE fleets across the country. This growth was accompanied by an increase in team size, with over 1,000 dedicated professionals working daily to support your GSE equipment.
Advancing GSE Services
To meet evolving needs, we enhanced our rental fleet, prioritizing sustainability by ensuring that most of our 1,500+ units are electric GSE (E-GSE).
On the refurbishment side, we expanded our overhaul capacity in both the US and Europe, focusing on prolonging the life and durability of your GSE assets.
Connecting with You
2024 also allowed us to engage with many of you directly at key industry events. We were proud to participate in significant gatherings such as the International GSE Expo and Ground Handling International conferences, which provided opportunities to exchange ideas and collaborate on future projects.
Thank You
We deeply appreciate the trust and collaboration that made 2024 exceptional. Your partnership drives our commitment to delivering the best in GSE services.
As 2025 begins, we’re excited to continue working with you to achieve new milestones together. Here’s to another year of progress and shared success!

AES: All engaged with safety
Safety: The Foundation of Reliable GSE Services
Safety plays a crucial role in Ground Support Equipment (GSE) operations, often without being immediately visible. At Alvest Equipment Services (AES), we recognize that a safe working environment is essential, not just for delivering high-quality services, but for ensuring the well-being of our entire team.
Because safety is at the core of our company culture, we are committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that it remains a priority at every level of our operations.
Our Commitment to Safety
- PPE & Ergonomics: Every team member receives the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their role, and workstations are designed with ergonomics and safety in mind.
- Training & Awareness: We provide ongoing safety training programs to reinforce workplace safety, including fire safety education and regular awareness initiatives.
- Risk Management: AES actively reduces exposure to hazardous materials and operational risks, ensuring safer conditions for all employees.
By integrating these measures into our daily operations, we create a safer, more efficient environment. Allowing our teams to focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional GSE services.
