The Brotherhood of the Crest: How Golf Logos Spark Lifelong Connections By Abdol Moabery

Golf isn’t just a sport to me. It is a passion, a passport, and, at times, a personal form of meditation. I’ve chased this game across six continents, walking fairways in the shadow of mountains, along dramatic ocean cliffs, and through ancient woodlands. I’ve had the privilege of teeing it up at some of the most iconic and exclusive clubs in the world. These are places where history, architecture, and natural beauty come together to… Read more

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

What is Digital Transformation by Dr. Rainford Knight

We’re all familiar with the term Digital Transformation (DT). It’s tossed around as much as AI. Yet most don’t exactly know what DT is. And according to McKinsey research (2021), 70% of DT projects fail. The good news, though, is that the 70% failure rate implies a 30% potential success rate. When we started our DT journey at GA Telesis we were going to be part of the smaller sub-set that succeeded in what we… Read more

Rejuvenation… – By Russ Shelton

A spa is generally thought to offer health and beauty treatments through steam baths, exercise, and massage to rejuvenate and restore. Humans generally don’t have bird strikes, oil leaks or turbine distress, but engines do, and like their human comparisons, they benefit greatly from trips to the SPAH. Our SPAH technically performs continue time workscopes (though we do have saunas in our Helsinki shop). These focus on removals, which typically do not address life limits;… Read more

The Power of the GA Telesis Ecosystem™ – A Look at Unleashing Synergy and Sustainable Growth – by Abdol Moabery

When I founded the company twenty-one years ago, I was focused on what I needed to do to succeed with my start-up. I had two key areas of focus back then, driving revenue and free cash flow. While I could write a blog about that, I would rather now focus on what that start-up ultimately became—the GA Telesis Ecosystem™. In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, staying ahead of the market’s pace is crucial. That’s… Read more

Swinging for Success: How Golf Boosts Your Career – By Abdol Moabery

The only thing in my life with more ups than downs than business has been my relationship with the game of golf. Love/hate would be putting it lightly, not because there is any question about how much I love the game, but because there are exponential degrees of hate that apply depending on the particular shot I make or instead don’t make. Regardless, the love for golf always prevails, and I continue to pour my… Read more
