Paslay Group Announces Service Expansion with the Launch of Three Independent Companies

Paslay Group, previously Paslay Management Group, the award-winning airport development management firm known for its Executive Program Management services at major airport capital developments across the US, is pleased to announce a comprehensive expansion of its services by introducing three independent companies under the new Paslay Group name.

These companies, including Executive Program Management, Development, and Advisory Services, represent a heightened dedication to client service and an emphasis on agility and subject matter expertise. Each team is led by a tenured industry expert with decades of experience in the industry and will operate independently with the ability to pull from the expertise of all three companies to respond to unique client needs and react to rapidly changing airport realities.

"Airports are faced with a unique set of challenges compared to most other businesses; they have to manage private sector profitability pressure while operating under the scrutiny of a public sector entity, This requires creative solutions to diversify revenue streams, address legacy business models, and execute timely and cost-efficient capital development. This restructuring will position the Paslay Group to provide a greater service offering to our airport clients, large or small, around the country as they face these ever-evolving challenges."

- Clay Paslay, CEO and Managing Partner of the Paslay Group.

Executive Program Management, the legacy offering of Paslay Group led by President Paul Blue, specializes in helping owners plan and manage large and complex multi-billion-dollar airport capital development programs.

Development is led by President John Terrell and focuses on master land use planning and strategic commercial development projects for airports, municipalities, and private enterprises as both a consultant and developer.

President Margaret McKeough leads Advisory Services, which focuses on providing airport executives with enterprise-level business strategy consulting to optimize financial results and improve business performance for long-term airport success. Critical areas of consultative expertise include enterprise-level performance, concessions development, airport-airline negotiations, and executive leadership.

B&H Worldwide, a global leader in aerospace and aviation logistics, is delighted to announce the successful acquisition of a new contract with Flair Airlines, a leading Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. Flair Airlines, known for its scheduled passenger and chartered services with a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft, has selected B&H Worldwide as its trusted logistics partner. Under this agreement, B&H Worldwide will provide critical support to Flair Airlines, including Aircraft on Ground (AOG) assistance, Import/Export Clearance, and deliveries. The scope of the partnership extends to cover key regions, with a focus on Canada, the USA, and Australia. Gary Wilson, Group Managing Director of B&H Worldwide, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "We are honoured to have been chosen by Flair Airlines to provide logistics services. This partnership signifies our commitment to delivering high-quality solutions to the aerospace industry. B&H Worldwide is poised to support Flair Airlines' operations seamlessly and contribute to their success." To ensure a smooth and efficient import/export process, B&H Worldwide has developed a customized Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This SOP not only facilitates a streamlined logistics process but also outlines key contacts and support points tailored to Flair Airlines' specific needs. Furthermore, it establishes service standards that align with the airline's shipment requirements. Gary Wilson added, "Our bespoke service is a testament to our dedication to meeting the unique demands of Flair Airlines. We are committed to providing not only exceptional logistics services but also a partnership built on trust and collaboration."

In a notable milestone, Flair Airlines loaded their own Boeing 737-800 MAX aircraft with materials destined for Australia. The 737-800 MAX aircraft departed from Calgary, Canada, and successfully landed in Coolangatta, Australia. B&H Worldwide played a crucial role in facilitating the clearance process in Australia. Vladan Nikolic, Director of Material Supply Chain for Flair Airlines, expressed his satisfaction with B&H Worldwide's performance, stating, "The B&H Australian team's professionalism and responsiveness during the first logistics project was impressive.
