Jetex has announced further expansion into two new locations - Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and Dublin, Ireland - adding to the company's current network of over 50 locations in more than 20 countries.

A Memorandum of Understanding with AERIA airport management company appoints Jetex as the exclusive operator and manager of the newly built FBO at the Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport.

“We chose Abidjan because it is an economic powerhouse for West Africa. It’s a very urbanized and industrial city,” said Jetex President (Europe) Salem Youssef.

The FBO will be Jetex's first in West Africa and second location in the region after Morocco. The 1,000 m2 location is expected to open by July 2018 with full VIP services.

In further news, Jetex will open a new FBO adjacent to the main terminal at Dublin Airport in Ireland’s lively capital city.

The Airport, located 6 miles north of the capital, is Ireland’s busiest. Over 80,000 passengers pass through the airport every day. It has an extensive short and medium haul network and significant long haul traffic focused on North America, Middle East, and East Asia. Private jet traffic is around 3,500 departures a year and is expected to grow at a steady pace.

“It’s the perfect time for Jetex to open here,” said Brendan McQuaid, Managing Director for Jetex’s Dublin FBO. “Dublin is booming right now, the airport itself is scaling up, and there are so many jet operators and corporations that generate a lot of air traffic. We needed Jetex in Dublin.”
