Plans Sale of Baltic Ground
Services Poland

Avia Solutions Group has decided to sell
Baltic Ground Services Poland, a subsidiary of the group's family member, Baltic
Ground Services (BGS).

being grounded under COVID-19 and the
competition with Poland's state owned
service providers being high, Avia Solutions Group believes that the sale of Baltic Ground Service Poland is an optimal

anti-icing services. The company has
been providing high quality solutions to
