About

Unwavering Commitment to Excellence

Founded in 2019 by Aaron Thoman and Michael Griggs, GT Global Aviation Services, Inc. unites two seasoned aviation professionals whose partnership was established while supporting aircraft operations in the Middle East during the Afghan War. Their experience in high-pressure environments fostered a foundation of trust, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

With more than 15 years of aviation maintenance experience, Aaron Thoman and Michael Griggs have supported aircraft operations worldwide, including in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Kuala Lumpur, China, Malaysia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Germany. This extensive international background has shaped GT Global Aviation Services into a company that prioritizes reliability, responsiveness, and the highest standards of maintenance.

GT Global Aviation Services was founded on a straightforward principle: the aviation industry deserves dependable partners who are responsive, present, and stand behind their work. Our mission is to restore accountability and relationship-driven service to the industry while delivering trusted aviation maintenance solutions.

Operating from Hawaii enables us to efficiently support global aviation operations while maintaining responsiveness and reliability throughout the Pacific region and around the world. With extensive operational experience and a steadfast commitment to excellence, we continue to deliver trusted aviation solutions wherever they are needed.
