Universal Aviation announced a strategic co-branding agreement with Portuguese ground handling chain Safeport in a signing ceremony at NBAA-BACE. The partnership will see all six Safeport locations at Lisbon (LPPT), Cascais (LPCS), Oporto (LPPR), Beja (LPBJ), Faro (LPFR), and Sal Island (LPFR)—the latter a strategic tech stop on the transatlantic route—co-branded as Universal Aviation locations.

“Portugal’s thriving business aviation market, coupled with Cape Verde’s strategic importance for Atlantic crossings, presents a unique opportunity for growth,” said Universal chairman Greg Evans. “Safeport was the clear choice for this partnership due to their exceptional 30-year track record of top-tier service and deep local expertise.”
