The partnership was announced at the NBAA-BACE 2024 event in Las Vegas and will give Universal Aviation access to Portugal and the Cape Verde archipelago.
Safeport’s locations will be cobranded with Universal Aviation in Lisbon, Cascais, Oporto, Beja, Faro and Sal Island in Cape Verde.
The collaboration brings together Safeport’s 30 years of local expertise with Universal’s global resources and network.
Greg Evans, Chairman of Universal, said: “Safeport was the clear choice for this partnership due to their exceptional 30-year track record of top-tier service and deep local expertise. Their proven ability to handle high-profile clients — such as top executives, government officials, and celebrities — aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering the highest standards of service and safety globally.”
Paulo Mirpuri, President and CEO of Safeport, adds: “Universal’s worldwide resources, cutting-edge information sharing, and renowned safety standards complement our deep understanding of the Portugal and Cape Verde markets. This collaboration enhances our service capabilities and opens doors to new international customers who recognise and trust the Universal Aviation brand.”
