In the tough world of aviation, reliability isn’t just a goal; it’s a must. Your success depends on how well your ground operations run, whether you are managing a commercial fleet at a busy international hub or keeping a private jet at a regional airfield. The Aircraft Ground Power Unit (GPU) is the most important piece of equipment for these operations.

Jetall GPU, which is based in Ontario, Canada, has been designing power solutions for over 20 years that meet the needs of 21st-century aircraft while still using 20th-century infrastructure.

How Ground Power Has Changed Over Time

For decades, the aviation industry used ground power technology that had not changed much since the 1970s. Ground crews often found it hard to work with these older units because they were noisy, used a lot of fuel, and were hard to use.

Today’s planes are quieter, use less fuel, and have very sensitive avionics. Your ground support equipment needs to be just as advanced as these new technologies to help them work. Jetall’s goal is to make GPUs that meet or exceed current standards and provide better power quality, keeping your aircraft’s electronic systems safe.

Which is better for you: engine-driven or electrically driven?

Every flight has its own set of needs. Where you live, how often you use it, and your environmental goals all play a role in choosing the right GPU.
* Engine-Driven GPUs: These are the most important parts of the apron. These units are great for remote stands or airfields where fixed-grid power isn’t available, thanks to their advanced diesel engines (like our Perkins-driven JTL series). They are fully mobile and strong enough to handle the harsh Canadian winters.
* Electrically Driven GPUs: Frequency Converters and Rectifiers are becoming the standard as airports move toward “greener” gates. They don’t release any emissions into the air, are much quieter, and cost less to maintain, making them great for hangars and fixed-gate installations.

Making the Most of Your Bottom Line

The real value of a Jetall GPU isn’t just the power it gives you; it’s also the money it saves you. Using a GPU with high efficiency, operators can:

1. Save Fuel: Running an airplane’s Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) while it’s on the ground costs a lot of money. A GPU gives you the 400Hz or 28.5VDC power you need at a much lower cost.
2. Less wear on the engine: Shortening the APU’s run time increases the lifespan of aircraft parts and lowers the frequency of maintenance.
3. Make the crew more efficient: Our units have easy-to-use digital controllers and “Plug Out/Plug In” modular designs, which means less time spent on setup and fixing problems.

The Jetall Benefit

We know that ground support equipment costs money. That’s why we offer a variety of options, including new, used, and portable units, to meet different budget needs. We make durable equipment that is easy to repair, and spare parts are readily available on the open market. This includes everything from private jets to big commercial airliners.
