About Us
History
Glamco Aviation (B) Sdn Bhd (Glamco) is a private Brunei-owned and Brunei-managed company with over 30 years’ experience in the aviation business. We are now a leading player in Brunei’s aviation industry.
Founded in 1983 before Brunei gained its independence, we initially provided aircraft and helicopter spares to the Royal Brunei Air Force and Brunei Shell Aviation Department. We also provided ground-handling services to private and corporate operators at Brunei International Airport (BIA).
Over the years, we have increased our range of services and developed close operating relationships with many foreign manufacturers and OEMs. This enables us to offer competitive rates and excellent service worldwide. Thanks to our strong working relationships with internationally recognised principals, we offer unrivalled consultancy services both in Brunei and in ASEAN.
To augment our services, we built the first of our two hangars in 2008, with further business growth prompting the addition of a second in 2012.
Following Brunei’s national challenge to identify, formulate and deliver plans to develop local industry (particularly the aviation sector), our motto of “Service With Excellence” has been our guiding principal over the years. As business conditions change, we continue to demonstrate flexibility, efficiency and commitment to our global client base.
