Their track record in providing services smoothly and efficiently is impeccable. We believe that this partnership will help us achieve our business growth goals faster and more efficiently,” she says.
Vitalis Dudys, the BGS Group’s Head of Commerce, says that the partnership with Heston Airlines gives the company a great opportunity to strengthen its position at one of the key airports in the region, which was recently named the best in all of Europe, among those serving 2-5 million passengers per year.

One of our strategic goals is to further strengthen our presence here and be a part of this growth, as well as to establish additional partnerships with companies based in Tallinn,” he says.
