July 8, 2025

(Sugar Land, TX – July 9, 2025) PrimeFlight Aviation Services, Inc., through subsidiary Skytanking Havacılık Hizmetleri A.Ş, has acquired the entire shareholding of Yen Bakım Mühendislik Danışmanlık Sanayi Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, operating as Yen Teknik. The acquisition of Yen Teknik expands PrimeFlight’s global refueling and GSE maintenance network following this year’s acquisitions of UK and Germany-based Airbase GSE and Australia-based Active Automobile Electrics.

Yen Teknik is a refueling and GSE maintenance provider with a presence at four airports across Turkey, including Istanbul, Dalaman, and Antalya airports. In addition, they provide inspection and consulting services, helping customers to implement quality systems and standards.

“The acquisition aligns with our strategic goals of expanding our global refueling and GSE maintenance service footprint while enhancing our service offerings for both Turkey and throughout Europe.” Amir Ibrahim, EVP for Skytanking, explained. “This acquisition will allow us to serve our customers with fuel truck maintenance services at four major airports in Turkey while also expanding our Technical Service Agreement, or TSA, business.”

PrimeFlight provides a full range of aviation services through a network of subsidiaries including ground handling, cargo handling, GSE maintenance, passenger services, deicing, into-plane fueling, aviation fuel storage, hydrant management, and engineering support. Its subsidiaries include Skytanking, PrimeFlight GSE Maintenance, PrimeFlight Cargo, Prime Appearance, Garsite, and others.

“With a long history serving the oil and gas industry, Yen Teknik was founded to provide reliable maintenance, engineering, and consulting services throughout the Turkish market,” Yen Teknik founder Efe Cebeci noted. “Since 2017 we have built a strong reputation for delivering market-leading service quality which we are excited to expand with PrimeFlight’s industry-leading expertise and reach.”

Yen Teknik will continue to operate under its current brand during the integration process but will ultimately operate under the PrimeFlight brand.
