Our Story
Established in 2017, Bubul was founded with a clear vision: to offer solutions and services to both individuals and teams. Recognising the common struggle of aviation companies grappling with complex regulations and regulatory shifts, Bubul's team observed the potential for distractions and missed business opportunities.
