Aviation Services Management Founder Vito Gomes Marks 40 Years in Aviation

Dubai, United Arab Emirates Jun 28, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Aviation Services Management FZE (ASM), a Dubai-headquartered global flight support and aviation services provider, announces a leadership milestone as its founder and chief executive officer, Vito Guilherme Gomes, marks 40 years in the aviation industry.

Mr. Gomes four-decade career reflects a journey built on operational experience, aviation discipline, and long-term industry relationships. His background spans multiple areas of aviation operations, including freight and mail, load control, import and export, ramp handling, ground handling, customer service, flight dispatch, and international airline operations. This hands-on foundation helped shape his understanding of aircraft movements, crew requirements, ground coordination, service reliability, and operational risk.

In 1998, drawing on this experience, Mr. Gomes founded Aviation Services Management FZE in Dubai. The company was established to support aircraft operators with reliable trip support and aviation services from a strategic base in the Middle East. Since then, ASM has grown into a wider aviation services group supporting operators, corporate clients, private aviation customers, cargo operators, charter brokers, and airline partners across key global markets.

Under Mr. Gomes leadership, ASM has developed a service model focused on supporting flights before, during, and after each mission. The companys core capabilities include flight planning and route support, overflight and landing permits, ground handling coordination, aviation fuel services, crew logistics, hotel and travel arrangements, concierge and VIP ground services, flight diversion support, and specialised assistance for Hajj, medevac, and private aviation missions.

ASMs operations are supported by a 24/7 team and a global service network covering more than 3,000 locations worldwide. The companys multilingual operational capability enables it to coordinate with aircraft operators, handlers, fuel suppliers, airport authorities, and service providers across multiple regions and time zones.

A key part of Mr. Gomes contribution has been his focus on reducing fragmentation in aviation support. Aircraft owners and operators often work with several separate providers for flight planning, permits, fuel, ground handling, crew services, passenger support, and aircraft operations. ASMs integrated model was developed to improve coordination, visibility, and accountability across these functions.

Through ASM and its licensed aircraft operating arm, ASM Air, the group supports an all under one roof aviation model. This structure brings together global flight support, private aviation services, aircraft operations, and charter support under a coordinated framework. The approach is designed to help aircraft owners, operators, brokers, and corporate clients manage complex missions more efficiently and consistently.

Across his career, Mr. Gomes has led the business through multiple industry cycles, including economic downturns, regional disruptions, and the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During periods of operational uncertainty, ASM continued to support international flight movements and strengthened its focus on private aviation, VIP, diplomatic, business, repatriation, and medevac missions across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

Forty years is not simply about longevity. It is about consistency, relationships, and the ability to evolve while staying true to your values. We are proud of what has been achieved, but our focus remains firmly on the future on serving our clients better, supporting aircraft owners more efficiently, and continuing to contribute to the aviation industry, said Vito Guilherme Gomes, Founder and CEO, Aviation Services Management FZE.

As ASM looks ahead, the company plans to continue strengthening its regional presence, building new partnerships, and investing in its integrated aviation services model. The companys ongoing priority is to support aircraft operators and owners with efficient, reliable, and coordinated aviation solutions while maintaining the operational discipline and client focus that have shaped ASM since 1998.
