The Runway to Building GA Telesis / By Abdol Moabery

When I founded GA Telesis I knew the direction I wanted to take the company. I never envisioned the company as a tool to create a job for myself, but rather something much bigger. I was also never that guy that always dreamed of being my own boss, being CEO yes, my own boss no. In fact, I have had some pretty great bosses and co-workers along the way and from each and every one… Read more

Follow Your Passion / By Mark Luginbill

There is the saying, “Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” It sounds a lot like me because I feel blessed to have worked my entire career in the most exciting industry I can think of – aviation. As I reflect on my professional journey, I think of all the big and small influences that led me down this path. Growing up in a small Midwest town,… Read more

Gratitude in the Workplace / By Meghan Burgan

For my family and many others in the United States, the observance of Thanksgiving Day, culminates into a four-day weekend filled with extended family, feasting, football and watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. But it’s also a time to reflect on all the goodness we have in our lives. Studies show that if you focus on your blessings year round, it can be good for your well-being and ultimately boost your chance for success. The… 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

Fostering Curiosity / By Dave Dicken

At GA Telesis we live by the five “W”s and one “H”; who, what, when, where, why, and how. It all starts when we were children and there was nothing more natural than challenging our parents with these questions. In many cases, these questions would be met with impatience and frustration. As kids, how many conversations did we have, that started with “But why?” and ended with “Because I said so.” or, “Curiosity killed the… Read more

Giving Back / By Bailey Homa

Giving back is a lot more than a moral obligation. It’s a way to strengthen the surrounding community. Building relationships with local charities is something GA Telesis prides itself on. Working here as an intern for the summer, I have seen how passionate this team is about giving back. Events like bake sales and t-shirt sales, may seem minor, but bring together “Team Telesis” because they care about the bigger picture. There are people out… 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

Enthusiasm / By Nigel Christie

Enthusiasm – Definition (Oxford English Dictionary) “Intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval” When I started my career in the aviation industry I never imagined that after 35 years, I would still approach every day with the same sense of excitement and enthusiasm as I did when I started. At GA Telesis, that same enthusiasm is shared within the entire organization starting with our CEO and founder, Abdol Moabery. He epitomizes the word and… Read more

Relationship Building / By Mehmet Dogan

In a world of on-line bidding and RFPs there is nothing that replaces the importance of a relationship with your customer especially for GA Telesis in the EurAsia Region. The importance of culture in EurAsia and the Levant is very important in relationship creation and network formation. This region will account for a large portion of new global aviation purchasing power. In a market with the world’s largest population that consists of all of the… Read more
