Unifi Providing Full Ground Handling Services in 10 U.S. Locations for aha!
Unifi, one of North America’s largest providers of aviation services, recently started its 10th station for aha! Airlines, making Unifi the largest ground handling provider for the Reno-based airline. Unifi started its partnership with aha! on October 24, 2021, at Reno-Tahoe International Airport and began operations at Palm Springs International Airport on January 3, 2022.
Unifi provides aha! with ground handling operations and passenger services supporting over 50 flights per week.
“We’re proud to partner with aha! and support their vision of providing convenient, nonstop flights to high-quality destinations,” commented Gautam Thakkar, Unifi’s CEO. “By providing full ground handling services to 10 of their 11 locations, we’re happy to be their largest ground-handling partner. We’re committed to providing aha! the high-level service Unifi is known for and strengthening our relationship into the future.”
ExpressJet Airlines relaunched flight operations in 2021 with its aha! leisure brand. aha! seeks to provide travelers in smaller communities, many who have seen air service reduced over the past decade through airline mergers, with convenient, short, nonstop flights to high-quality destinations like the Reno-Lake Tahoe region. In addition to offering value-priced, nonstop flights, aha! will soon partner with resorts, casinos and attractions to “bundle” value-priced vacation packages.
"We have been pleased to partner with Unifi, which has helped contribute to aha!’s launch and our continuing success," said ExpressJet Acting CEO John Greenlee.
Unifi provides full ground handling for the following locations served by aha!: Bakersfield, CA; Eugene, OR; Fresno, CA; Medford, OR; Ontario, CA; Palm Springs, CA; Pasco/Tri-Cities, WA; Redmond, OR; Reno, NV; and Spokane, WA.
