Dubai-headquartered flight support
services provider, HADID, and Riviera Airport S.p.A have announced the formation
of Riviera Executive Aviation.
Operated by HADID, Riviera Executive
Aviation will develop and manage the executive aviation services at Riviera
Airport (LIMG) including a new Executive Aviation Terminal.
Riviera Airport, located in
Villanova d’Albenga in Liguria, is the first and only privatised airport in
Italy dedicated to General Aviation. It serves the Italian Riviera and provides
a discreet transit to Monaco and the French Riviera.
The airport has ambitious and
unique development plans to become a major hub for General Aviation in the
region. A new terminal, hangars and maintenance facilities as well as other
major infrastructures are planned. Additionally, the extension of the runway
from 1500m to 1700m and the upgrade of navigational aids are the first strategic
investments scheduled to facilitate landing and take-off operations and to
better support long-haul private flights.
Mohamad Hadid,
Chairman of HADID commented, “This is a unique venture we are very excited to be
part of. Riviera Airport has significant potential to become the foremost
General Aviation airport in the region. HADID and Riviera Airport S.p.A share
the vision of grand infrastructural development that will serve the region’s
growing demand for General Aviation and it will ultimately benefit the local
economy and community.” |
