## Overview

Elite Aero Ireland Limited, trading as Six West was founded on 16th March 2017. According to the Six West's founders, Jason Williamson and Robert Scarborough, "an identified requirement to provide customized flight operations services to aircraft lessors led them to creating the company". Six West’s Dublin headquarters became the Head Office of the company’s operations, however, expansion into Asia in January 2018 provided the opportunity to play a new role in addressing the growing shortage of experienced contract pilots for private aviation in the region.[1][6][7]

In January, 2018, Six West (Hong Kong) Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong. Six West (Hong Kong) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Six West (Ireland) and was created to further the expansion of private jet crewing services in the region. The Asian subsidiary allowed a separation of business activities from the growing Aircraft Leasing Industry operations in Ireland. Trans Global Airlines (TGA), is incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a subsidiary to Six West in February 2019. Trans Global Airlines was created to provide the aircraft leasing industry with access to a broader range of flight operations solutions to enable them to deploy their assets into new territories previously unreachable via the industry's 83bis arrangements. Six West Malta is incorporated in Malta, July 2019 to ensure the leasing industry can access a European Air Operators Certificate to build on the Trans Global Airlines service offering
