Our Creed is Pride and Professionalism

ATE-ATS is 100% locally owned and operated.

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to an exciting and significant change in the choice of FBO services now available at the Cairns Airport.

Aircraft Turnaround Services Pty Ltd (ATS) is an established player in the market and draws from a wealth of experience and dedication from the founders with 18 years of exposure to airport services.

We at ATS are challenging the market to embrace a new, independent service provider in these times of change. ATS is a wholly locally owned and operated company which has the immediate capacity to perform GSE maintenance, aircraft turnaround services; including all GSE equipment, GPU rentals, potable water and lav services. Including baggage handling and check in. Shortly, ATS will also have the capacity to perform aircraft push backs (up to B767) and will be able to supply disabled persons access (DPL).

The management and staff at Aircraft Turnaround Services constantly strive to maintain the high level of customer service, quality, efficiency, reliability and foremost, value for money.

WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT

ATE the parent company of ATS operates and maintains a complete array of ground service tools, plant and machinery - all of which are less than 5 years old. Our policy of operating only new equipment dramatically reduces the risk of delays due to breakdowns and thus allows us to offer external rental agreements. Our independence from the major airlines gives us great flexibility in both determining the scope of our operations and the pricing of our services.

ATE/ATS' current fleet includes the following range of equipment : 

Ground Power Units (x 3 Units)

Tugs (x 8 Tugs)

Ground Air-conditioning Unit

Push Back Tractor ( x 2 Units)

Potable Water Units

Toilet Waste Unit (Aviogei Vacuum Dispensing System)

Crew Transport Vehicle

In support of this fleet our dual access GSE facility includes a fully equipped and modern workshop, lockup (aircraft spares) storeroom, fully-fenced and sealed compound, wash down bay, operations / administration offices and car parking.

The proximity of our site facilities, the size of our fleet and the skills and dedication of our team combine to ensure that we can meet all the Line Maintenance and Turnaround services requirements of any small to medium-sized airlines (subject to engineering licensing). In addition, ATE has the flexibility to include new aircraft in our capability schedule.

ATE has also formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Aircraft Turnaround Services (ATS) to expand and complete the range of turnaround services offered by our group of companies to existing and future clients operating out of the Cairns Airport.
