Jetex Flight Support has
opened its newly-built FBO terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport in
the recently rebranded Dubai South Aviation District (previously known as
Dubai World Central).
The addition of the 1,500m²
terminal and dedicated ramp parking space of 50,000m² makes the facility the
largest FBO in Jetex’s worldwide portfolio.
“Dubai World Central marks
the next chapter in Dubai’s development as one of the world’s leading
aviation hubs,” says Adel Mardini,
President & CEO of Jetex Flight Support. “It makes absolute sense for us to
be present here, and the new general aviation terminal that is being built
now will feature highly luxurious facilities that will set a new standard of
excellence for our global customers.”
“We designed this new iconic
facility to shatter expectations of a traditional FBO by bringing upscale
contemporary interior design and five-star hospitality to the aviation
arena. From the fleet of Rolls-Royce airside transport to a lavish cigar
lounge within the FBO terminal, we strive to provide the highest level of
care and comfort to all of our guests.”
While its outward appearance
conveys relaxed luxuriousness with plush private seating areas, the terminal
was also designed for maximum efficiency. Experienced Jetex staff provide
comprehensive ground and baggage handling, fueling, security and concierge
services, including bespoke air transfer arrangements to major locations in
the Emirates to avoid traffic delays. On-site customs and immigrations
officers handle any necessary formalities with a minimum wait for
passengers.
“This new Jetex terminal
further strengthens our position within the general aviation business. Our
new facility is the first FBO in Dubai to be awarded the International
Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) certification earlier this
year,” added Mardini.
Catering to private, business
and government VIP travelers, the new Jetex facility offers 24-hour customs
clearance, dedicated executive passenger and crew lounges, aircraft handling
and ramp services, as well as personalized concierge services for those
seeking VIP transportation or hotel accommodations. A state-of-the-art
5,000m² hangar facility currently under construction will be available for
aircraft storage and maintenance in 2017.
