Ms Raines and Mr Baggett have and continue to be an integral part in GAT Airline Ground Support as the owners in a company that has grown over the years from a local aviation services company to a national company covering from coast to coast and servicing all major and regional carriers in all aspects of the airline industry.  Both of their leadership continues to keep GAT as a force in the aviation business, offering quality service in all areas.

GAT was formed as a branch of a fixed-based operation in Mobile, Alabama in 1963 to provide aviation ground support.  Since that time GAT has developed a successful business relationship with major carriers across the United States.  In response to our customers’ request, GAT provides a broad range of support services including ticket counter and gate passenger processing, ramp operations, cabin services, skycap, cargo, airport customer service, charter screening, GSE maintenance, janitorial and security services. 

Today GAT provides a varied combination of these services to our airline customers in 15 locations.  GAT’s management philosophies include a high degree of owner involvement, innovative and successful safety strategies, and operational responsiveness.
