Jet Aviation and the
San Juan-based Pazos FBO, located at the Luis Muńoz
Marin International Airport in Puerto Rico, recently
signed an FBO management agreement.
The FBO will be
managed by Jet Aviation and rebranded as Jet
Aviation San Juan.
“This enables us
to continue to provide the very best in FBO and
flight-management services to customers,” said Jet
Aviation Group President
Rob Smith.
“The brand new San Juan-based FBO, with more than
20,000 square feet of space including expanding
aircraft parking ramp with capacity for increased
traffic and future additional hangar facilities, is
the perfect fit for Jet Aviation to continue
expanding our reach within the region.”
The newly
branded Jet Aviation San Juan FBO is the
only FBO in Puerto Rico with a
full-service, onsite U.S. Customs and
Border Protection terminal to facilitate
convenient customs, immigration and
agriculture processing of international
flights.
It is
considered one of the most convenient
U.S. airports of entry in the Caribbean
for South American and European flights
connecting to the U.S mainland.
“We
are pleased to be working with President
Jose Maldonado and his team of 61
employees at the former Pazos FBO,” said
Smith.
“Together they have built an impressive
operation that delivers excellent
service to customers.” |

Maldonado said he
is delighted to partner with Jet Aviation. “For
decades, we have provided our clientele with
premiere services, which are now enhanced by the
company’s new state-of-the-art FBO installation,” he
said. “Adding Jet Aviation’s global strength,
resources and management expertise is the perfect
next step for us. Our longstanding success and
recent expansion have been possible thanks to the
hard work, loyalty and dedication of every member of
the Pazos family.”
In addition to
U.S. Customs processing, the new Jet Aviation San
Juan FBO building features a pilot suite with a
shower and snooze room; flight-planning
workstations; executive passenger lounge; corporate
meeting facilities; video conferencing; catering;
re-fueling; and aircraft maintenance.
The San Juan
location is the newest facility in Jet Aviation’s
global FBO network and the 10th FBO in the Americas. |
