Chris Mace, md ofSaxonAir, says: “We are veryexcited by the newopportunities that theHawker will offer SaxonAirand its customers. It willallow us to expand ourbusiness by offering clients a greater choice of non-stop destinations with anenhanced in-flight exper-ience. We considered severalother aircraft in its class,however the 900XP delivereda combination of range,speed, payload and comfortthat we could not find in anyother mid-size jet.”

The 900XP can travel2,600nm carrying up to eightpassengers in a stand-upcabin with galley and full-sized private lavatory.SaxonAir will be offering theaircraft for private charterwith many of the same on-board creature comforts thatone would expect to find onlarger sized jets; a benefitthat operations manager Lee McGahan describes as“right-sizing”.

“We feel it is important toprovide our clients with thesame level of service and on-board benefits that theymight be used to on supermid-size and heavy jets,” he says

“A multilingual flightattendant, hot food, satellitetelephone and wirelessinternet connection will allbe included as part of thefirst class cabin service. Afterall, the aircraft may beoccupied for hours at a time,and it is important that theclient feels as comfortableand ‘at home’ as possible.”

Sean McGeough, Hawker

Beechcraft president forEurope, Middle East andAfrica, says: “We know thatSaxonAir carried out a verythorough review of themarket before placing thisorder. It’s a testament to allof the team at HawkerBeechcraft and a reflectionof SaxonAir’s previousexperience with our aircraftthat they have selected the900XP.

“Having our own servicecentre close by in Chesterwas also seen as beneficial in maximising aircraftavailability, with the wholepackage providing bettervalue and a competitiveadvantage to SaxonAir’sbusiness.”

SaxonAir has experienceda 12.5% increase in charterflights flown and a 65%increase in handled flightssince moving into its new£7.9m facility at Norwichairport last May.

Geneva-based PrivatAir has placed a firm order for five CS100 airlinersand has taken options on anadditional five.

“After studying the BombardierCSeries intently for the last fouryears, we finally decided to place anorder for this versatile and costefficient aircraft in January, at theBahrain air show,” said Greg Thomas,president and ceo of PrivatAir.

introducing this very modern aircraftinto our fleet.”

Based on the list price for theCS100 aircraft, the firm ordercontract is valued at approximatelyUS$309 million, and could increaseto US$636 million if the five optionsare exercised.

No sale, no fee from RegourdoffshootFrench business aircraft operatorRegourd Aviation has launched ahelicopter sales and acquisitionbusiness under the name Heli Asset.

Headed by Emmanuel Dupuy andpartner Alain Regourd, it is a spinoffof Regourd Aviation’s helicopter salesdepartment, which has decades ofhelicopter transaction experience,and has offices in Europe and the US.

“Whether representing a seller or abuyer, we dramatically expand theresources available to clients. Ourremuneration is 100% based onsuccess,” says Dupuy.

Germany’s EFO Aviation has becomethe first company in Europe to orderthe new Citation Latitude midsize jet, for delivery in the summer of2016. It was attracted by the aircraft’sextended range as well as its 72-inch,flat-floor cabin.

The aircraft will be operated by AirHamburg Private Jets, which will use it for charter and executivetransportation. “The Latitude is anew class of Citation and we are veryhappy to be the first to bring it toEurope,” says Floris Helmers,managing director at Air Hamburg.“The 2,300nm range will allow us tomeet many different missiondemands, including betweenGermany and Moscow. It will be theperfect complement to the otherCitations in our fleet, which includethree XLS+ and two CJ3 as well asother Citation aircraft.”

Director of marketing and salesMike Ulka is confident that theLatitude will be a hit with customers.“The target passenger would typicallybook a Challenger 300 due to itsspacious midsize cabin. On a non-stop range below 2,300nm this newLatitude with the widest and highestcabin Cessna has ever built is a smartalternative,” he says. “The price perhour will beat any other midsize jet.We expect a lot of flights fromMoscow, St Petersburg and Dubai tothe Mediterranean sea region. We areplanning a sales price per hour below4.000 Euros net.”

Air Hamburg has also signed acontract for a fourth Citation XLS+which should arrive in March thisyear, following a second CJ3 inFebruary, and will be present at theEBACE show this year to promote itsever-growing fleet.

Cessna has only recently

announced the expected increasedrange capability of the Latitude. “Ourcustomers asked, we answered,” saysTrevor Esling, vp sales for Europe,Middle East, Africa and Asia. “Theincreased range will give the aircraftmore flexibility to fly a wider varietyof missions and meet our customerrequirements for comfort andperformance. We’ve made this greataircraft even better.”

The Latitude was first announcedat the NBAA convention last year, andhas been designed with space for acrew of two plus up to eightpassengers. It features Garmin G5000avionics, a six foot (1.83 metre) highpassenger cabin from just behind thecockpit through to the rear lavatoryarea, a flat floor, and Cessna’sadvanced Clairity cabin technology.

Positioned between the CitationXLS+ and the Sovereign, the Latitudeis expected to operate at airports withrunways as short as 3,900 feet (1,189metres), and to climb direct to 43,000feet in 23 minutes. The latitude willhave its own type rating (model C-680A), due to its Garmin 5000 cockpit.

First flight of the Latitudeprototype is expected to be mid-year2014, with FAA certification (Part 25)and entry into service expected in2015. The aircraft is priced at US$14.9million in 2012 .

ACM Air Charter has achieved IS-BAO stage two status and hashad its Wyvern Wingman-certification renewed.

The company received its initialIS-BAO certification in March 2010,and was the first commercial airlinein Germany to do so. Following asuccessful second audit in January, inwhich the effectiveness of theimplemented safety managementsystem comes under particularscrutiny, it has now earned the stagetwo status.

The renewal of its WyvernWingman certification alsounderlines the high quality and safetystandards of its flight operations andmaintenance services. The WyvernOperating Standards have beendeveloped in cooperation with apanel consisting of representativesfrom the most sophisticated anddemanding corporate flightdepartments in the world. ACM hasbeen a Wyvern-approved operatorsince 1996.

ACM operates a fleet of nine jets:two Global Express XRS, a Falcon 7X,two Falcon 2000EX, two Challenger604, a Citation X and a Citation VII.

Growing JetNetherlandsadds a fourth base

JetNetherlands has expanded to opena new centre of operations inEindhoven, where it will have its ownhangar for up to four jets, andsupporting offices and facilities. Thecompany is headquartered inAmsterdam and has existing remotebases at Rotterdam and in Moscow.

“We have appointed a stationmanager, and will base a Mustang,Piaggio Avanti, Challenger 850 andCitation VI over there,” says salesmanager Rieko Dalhuisen. “Theseaircraft will be able to serve thedemand for charter from Eindhoven.We will also base our daughtercompany AZ Exclusive Travel in thoseoffices to continue to take care of vipdemand for holidays, trips,excursions, cruises and so on. Thiswill bring all JNL related offices theretogether in one space.”

The company has also expandedits aircraft roster. “With these newaircraft JetNetherlands is becomingone of the larger operators in theBenelux serving our clients all kindsof aircraft, varying from very light toheavy jets,” adds Dalhuisen.

The highly diverse fleet nowcomprises two Mustangs, CitationsCJ2, CJ3, VI and two XLS, threePiaggio Avanti II, a Gulfstream 200, aFalcon 2000EX, Challenger 850 andprivately operated Beech 400. One ofthe XLS jets and the Falcon are basedin Moscow flying a long-term lease.

Last summer the company movedinto offices in the new GA terminal atAmsterdam Schiphol airport and nowoccupies the whole of the left firstfloor wing of the modern glassbuilding. An executive loungealongside is now in the pipeline.

The growing fleet has enabledJetNetherlands to welcome backsome former air crew who had left thecompany due to reductions a fewyears back, as well as fresh recruits.

The maintenance, quality and

training departments each had to hiremore people to get all the paperworkfixed and up to speed, whileoperations and sales also needed togrow as the company almost doubledits line up of jets. “It is all verychallenging but all our personnel areworking really hard as a team to makeit happen,” says Dalhuisen.

Operating in Moscow has broughtits own problems: “In winter thetemperatures mean we have to issuefull winter gear to our crews,” he says.“Language is an issue too, so weoperate with Russian cabin crew. Andwe need to operate with Russiannavigators on board as some airfieldsare really different to the typicalEuropean destinations. We have two apartments in Moscow, one for the Falcon crews and one for ourXLS crew.”

In the coming year JetNetherlandsaims to get all the aircraft onto itsAOC. “I think we will have enoughchallenges operating and selling allthese jets and keeping our aircraftowners and customers happy.”

JetNetherlands sales manager RiekoDalhuisen is heading the push to buildup charter business.

NetJets Europe has launched its ownfinance offering for customers buyingfractional ownership, with rates saidto be comparable to those offered bymajor financial institutions.

Luis Pinto, cfo, says: “With thecurrent economic climate, manybusinesses are working to avoid thelarge capital outlay traditionallyassociated with jet or even fractionaljet ownership, especially given thescarcity of credit from the traditionallenders. However, corporates stillneed to fly to do business and remaincompetitive, and want the financialand tax benefits leasing can’t deliver.”

The NetJets financing modelinvolves a 25 per cent down payment,and interest rates vary depending onthe amount of hours purchased bythe customer. Backed by BerkshireHathaway, NetJets Europe representsa secure line of credit for the term ofthe five year acquisition programmes.

“NetJets Europe’s first innovationwas one of delivering new ownershipmodels that made more efficient useof client funds to let them purchasewhat they needed, when they neededit,” says Pinto. “Today, we’re lettingcustomers pay for the assets how theywant to. We’re already seeing a hugeamount of interest from EasternEurope and from large corporateclients.”

UK-based Hangar8 has entered into ajoint venture to establish a charterbase in Malta, at Skyparks BusinessCentre at Luqa airport. It will initiallyown 49% of the new operator, namedMaleth Aero, and will have an optionto take a majority stake in the future.

Maleth Aero was granted its airoperator certificate on January 20th, and publicly received itsdocumentation in February during aceremony at the airport attended byHangar8 Malta ceo Michael O’Brien.

Hangar8, the world’s largestcharter operator of Hawker aircraft,has 17 other aircraft bases throughoutEurope and in Africa and Asia.

“The benefits of the link withMalta are that the country haspositioned itself as a service-orientedand tax efficient jurisdiction to own and operate aircraft andtherefore will be seen as an attractivedestination for new owners,” saysO’Brien. “The establishment of ourjoint venture with Hangar8 enablesus to accelerate our original businessplan by a couple of years.”

Dustin Dryden, ceo of Hangar8plc, adds: “This acquisition of apresence in the new corporateaviation market in Malta, at no cost toshareholders, illustrates the strengthof the Hangar8 brand and allows us to participate in what we believe willbecome a significant aircraft registerdue to its location and its financialterms. Malta is now a very attractivedestination for owners to registertheir aircraft, for whom we willprovide the same high qualityservices, now including maintenancethrough our EASA 145 Approval, that

we provide to owners elsewhere.”Malta’s ambition is to develop its

aviation sector in order to build one ofthe biggest aircraft registers in Europeas well as to explore and developrelated areas such as aircraftmaintenance, human resource

training in the sector, aircraftmanagement services and othersupport areas.

Dr Stanley Portelli, ceo ofTransport Malta says: “We are proudto be associated with Hangar8through their investment in Malta.

Working with Michael and his teamimmediately gave us strongindications that we were dealing witha top-notch operator and we willendeavour to work on adding value totheir business by being responsiveand sensitive to their requirements.”

With the closure of Munich airport’sRamp 11 on January 9th, localhandler EBAS International reportsthat foreign operators are beingforced to park some four kilometresaway from the GAT.

“It’s an impossible situation for thewhole of business aviation,” saysgeneral manager Monika Petereit.

“Due to the construction work for thenew Lufthansa satellite terminal, allforeign operators will be parked andhandled at the remote parkingposition Ramp 7/8.

“But business aviation is reliant onoffering passengers quick andsmooth handling, and this guaranteehas therefore been removed.”

EBAS International has madesome progress, however, and is nowable to use new parking positions forup to three aircraft at the new Ramp12, which is located close to the GAT.

By special request it is also able toperform quick turnarounds forpassenger pick up and drop offdirectly at the GAT via Ramp 10.

Bob Berry, chairman and md of thePilatus Centre UK, has chalked up 50years in aviation.

Having started his own business,he found himself stuck in traffic on amotorway in 1962. “I knew then that Ihad to get above it all,” recalls Berry,pictured above. Within two weeks hehad purchased his own four-seatCessna in which he learnt to fly.

After a long and varied careerimporting Commander and laterPiper aircraft, Berry established

the Pilatus centre at Bournemouth in 2005.

Looking to the future, he admitsthat he must follow his cardiacspecialist’s advice and take things alittle slower, and concludes: “Thereluctance of banks to lend hascertainly slowed sales down.

“We sold six new and three pre-owned PC-12s in 2011, but couldhave doubled that number hadpotential customers had moresupport from the banks.”

The European Business AviationAssociation has warned that theEuropean Union Emissions TradingScheme (EU ETS) risks beingdiscriminatory on several grounds.

It says that business aviation istreated unfairly compared with othermodes of air transport. On average,business aircraft operators mustacquire up to 96% of their historicalemissions in permits compared withonly 15% for airlines.

Says EBAA president BrianHumphries: “It is deeply unfortunatethat member states have so fardecided against coupling the smallemitters’ reporting tool with singlepoint verification. In many cases, forsmaller emitters the costs formonitoring and reporting, andparticularly verification, far outweighthe costs linked to acquiring CO2

permits. As such, the MRV procedurethreatens to weaken thecompetitiveness of Europeanbusiness aircraft operators comparedwith non-EU competitors and othermodes of transport.”

EBAA also believes that the rulingof the European Court of Justicewhich decided that the EU ETS doesnot infringe on internationalcustomary law, is commendable inthat it ensures equitable treatmentbetween EU and non-EUstakeholders. “Unfortunately though,this only adds fuel to the fire, stirringup a range of protests. China and the US are just two prominentexamples. It is questionable whetherthe mechanisms put in place by thecommission to enforce compliancewill be robust enough to resistwidespread international resistance,”says EBAA.

The timing of the implementationof ETS is also questioned. “The year2011, and one expects the year 2012as well, had and will record negativeair transport figures amidstdepressed demand and risingoperating costs,” says Fabio Gamba,EBAA ceo. “The EU ETS is predicatedon growth, and it becomes redundantif not harmful when growth isnegative or lacklustre at best. ”

In 1992 he set upan operation in the Yemen totransport oil explorationworkers from the capitalSanaa to various drilling sitesthroughout the country,which continues to this day.

This is the twentieth annual FBOFeedback survey, and EBAN’saircraft operating readers have onceagain delivered some surprisingconclusions.

The top ten this year includes nofewer than nine new entries, andthese are a mix of brand-new(DhabiJet) and long-establishedhandlers; of single locations andmembers of chains; and of Europeanand Middle Eastern companies.

Aiglle Flight Support on the islandof Guernsey triumphed well ahead of the field, having been placed

second last year, while Sardinia’sEccelsa was the runner up – toppingthe creditable fourth place achievedin 2009.

Overall scores were higher thisyear, as eight FBOs achieved overeight marks, compared with justthree in the 2011 survey. SignatureFlight Support at Luton finishedtwentieth both last year and this, but needed a very much improvedscore, from 6.635 to 7.281, to retainthis position.

Our survey suggests thatstandards in vip aircraft handling are

improving rapidly.In this feature we report on some

of the highest ranking companies,run through the latest news fromFBOs and handlers, and provide ourusual full survey of contactinformation and facilities.

We have included all those whoresponded to our many requests toupdate and confirm theirinformation. Basic details aboutthese and all the other handlersthroughout Europe and the MiddleEast can be found online atwww.handbook.aero.


It’s tough at the top as readersrate the region’s FBOs highly

Viviane Sigg (left) recently took over the management of ExecuJet’s Zurich FBO, but still has the support of Nicole Gut (right) whostepped up to become director of the company’s European FBOs. “Nicole shares her valuable insights with me through weeklymeetings,” says Sigg. “Fortunately she is also based here in Zurich so I can go to her in case I have a specific question. I thinkclients can sense that we are not only very professional but we also really like doing our jobs. We are having fun delivering thebest service we can offer!”

ExecuJet Europe performed very strongly in our survey, with three locations in the top ten. In 2011 the company added newFBOs at Barcelona, Gerona, Ibiza, Palma, Valencia and Istanbul, plus a further German base in Frankfurt and its first full servicebase in the UK at Cambridge. It is currently evaluating further opportunities in Spain and the Middle East.Signature is considering a

FBO NEWS IN BRIEF

How the FBO Feedbacksystem worksEBAN magazine keeps track ofevery business jet, business twinand turbine helicopter in Europeand the Middle East, and builds its distribution database fromindividuals responsible for all these aircraft.

Voting in the annual FBOFeedback survey is strictlyrestricted to this unique andvaluable list of professionals.

Each is able to use the surveyform on the magazine mailersheets throughout the second half of the year, or can vote onlineat any time through their ownsecure web page. Voters areexcluded from ranking their owncompany’s facilities.

Over 1,700 FBOs, handlers andagents are offered on the votingforms, and readers can vote for asmany or as few as they like. A ratingout of nine is given for facilities,service, staff and value, from whichan average is taken.

To minimise statisticalaberrations only those facilitiesreceiving at least point seven ofone per cent of the total number ofvotes cast is included in our finalleague table.

Many thanks to all those chiefpilots, ops managers and aircraftowners who took the time tocomplete the survey – your voteshave created a fascinating snapshotof FBO standards.

Senior FBO officer Dalia Hassan andsenior director Pauline Smith have seentheir DhabiJet facility ranked fourth in itsfirst year in our FBO Feedback survey.

Vnukovo – 3 is considered to be the biggest and

the busiest airport for business

aviation in Eastern Europe. It is one of the

most popular and convenient airports for VIP passengers in Europe. After huge investment Vnukovo –

3 has become a highly developed FBO. It has its own operational apron with a full set of technical

equipment and machinery. The FBO has two terminals which can serve up to 100 passengers per hour

(40 for domestic and 60 for international flights), with a nice panoramic view of the apron.

We are also glad to announce an extraordinary service called VIS. “Vipport Information Service”

which has been created to provide the ability to track in real time mode aircraft ground handling status

within Vnukovo – 3 facilities, such as flight status, ground handling, passengers and baggage handling.

One of the most important advantages of the system is the ability to get actual current flight information

distantly. Also you are able to see the volume of services provided for your flight. As the leading business

aviation center Vnukovo – 3 will always do its best for its clients.

area with satellite TV, snooze room,work station, meeting room, pantry,shower facility and a prayer room.

But work is not yet finished. Thecoming year is expected to see therefurbishment of several largehangars for MRO stations for large orvery large business aircraft; thecompletion of a second DhabiJetpassenger lounge; the completion ofan on-site executive in-flight cateringcentre operated by ExecutiveGourmet, part of the Gate GourmetGroup; and the development of high end retail sales within the vvip lounges.

“What matters most is theattention to detail and no stone is leftunturned to ensure that whatever thecustomer’s needs and expectationsare, we go that extra distance toexceed their expectations,” saysPauline Smith. “I am optimistic that,based upon the foundations laid in2011 and the new projects alreadyplanned, we will continue to increaseour market share in the coming year.The challenging internationaleconomic environment and toughcompetition means we have tocontinue to improve everything wedo if we are to increase our growthand reputation internationally, whichis our stated aim.”

Completing our readers’ favouritefive is Biggin Hill Executive Handling. Robert Walters, businessdevelopment manager, says: “OurExecutive Handling team are thrilledby this recognition of their dedicatedefforts to provide a high quality andpersonal FBO service. The high-ranking result in the survey is all themore encouraging as it exclusivelyreflects choice and preferencedirectly from the customer.”

The FBO service at Biggin HillAirport has been boosted with theopening of a 50,000 sq ft hangar, witha range of serviced offices in support,which now offers secure short or longterm hangarage up to BBJ or ACJ size.

“We shall not forget thatcustomers have a choice – a drivingforce for any service-relatedbusiness,” adds Walters.

survey debut at number four. “We are thrilled that DhabiJet, less

than one-year old, has entered thepremier league of FBO operators, aringing endorsement for theinvestment we have made to enhanceour services and facilities for flightcrew and the commitment anddedication of our team, led by seniordirector Pauline Smith,” said AlBateen general manager Steve Jones.

Al Bateen’s accomplishmentcomes hard on the heels of a recordyear which saw it record more than a50% increase in visiting businessaviation traffic. The airport attracted124 new first time internationalbusiness aviation customers too.

DhabiJet’s modern two-storeycrew lounge, inaugurated inNovember, is now fully operational.The new facility combines work areasto carry out crew briefings and flightplanning, and lounge areas toentertain and relax. The top floor isoccupied by Al Bateen’s flightoperations department and a briefingroom. The ground floor is entirelydedicated to crew, featuring a lounge


As experienced pilots and aircraftowners themselves, Aiglle FlightSupport’s Simon Fawcett and fellowjoint managing director RichardBattersby have a first-handperspective on what it takes toprovide top rated FBO services. But itis the hard work of their Guernsey-based team that they credit with thecompany winning this year’s EBANreader feedback survey.

“We are absolutely thrilled to winthis prestigious award,” says Fawcett.“Taking second place last year madeour small, close-knit team moredetermined than ever to go that extramile. There has been a real concertedeffort over the past twelve months ondelivering service excellence to ourcustomers and it is a real credit to allthat hard work and dedication thatwe’ve won this award.”

The company’s facility offers30,000 sq ft of modern, climatecontrolled hangar space and a range

of premium facilities to passengers,including lounges, a conferenceroom, weather and flight planningcomputer, baggage handling andcustoms and immigrationfacilitation, slot co-ordination, rampaccess for vehicles, hotel, taxi andhire car booking, fuelling assistance,aircraft washing and valeting. “Onefeature that is always welcomed isAiglle’s crew car which is availablefree of charge to crews on a lay over,”says Fawcett.

Aiglle was formed in 2000 when aconsortium of the hangar customerstook the business over following thedeath of the hangar’s founder.

The Eccelsa FBO at Olbia wasvoted second by EBAN readers thisyear. “In 2010 and 2011 we registeredinteresting positive growth again andthe expectations are positive also for2012, although the situation in Italyappears to be rather uncertain,” saysmanager Francesco Cossu.

Business on Sardinia is stronglyseasonal, ranging from over 150aircraft movements a day in thesummer to only a few movements in the winter. Coping with such alarge swing provides considerablechallenges. “We work very actively onpersonnel selection, training andmotivation,” says Cossu.

To improve all-weather accessGeasar SpA, which owns both theairport itself as well as EccelsaAviation, has started work extendingthe runway to 2,700 metres, andexpects this to be completed bysummer 2014.

The Eccelsa terminal features a

business centre, crew resting room,passenger lounge, elegant restaurant,bar and coffee shop, vvip lounge,private car parking, and six luxuryshops including Royal Cashmere, deGrisogono, StarDust, Cucinelli andErmenegildo Zegna.

London-Stansted FBO Inflite isdelighted to have been ranked inthird place, but is not resting on itslaurels. A new terminal is due to becompleted in May this year.

Says director of the family-runbusiness Penny Stephens: “Eventhough we enlarged and redecoratedour existing facility three years ago, itis important to keep up with thetimes and to maintain or improvestandards. It has always been mybelief that arriving at an FBO foreither passengers or crew, should be the same experience as arriving at a 5+ star hotel. With this in mind,we have designed our new terminal to enable us to deliver that luxuryhotel experience.”

Qatar Executive invests at the new DohaQatar Executive has started work todesign and build an FBO at the NewDoha International airport, whichis due to open in 2012. “This will be one of the most advanced andprestigious facilities of its kindanywhere in the world,” saysmarketing manager Sigrid Rath.

The company has alreadysignificantly invested into itsinfrastructure at the existingairport, in the form of a dedicated6,400 sq m hangar for maintenanceoperations which serves QatarExecutive as well as other carriersand has been selected byBombardier to become itsapproved service facility in theMiddle East for Challenger 605sand Globals.

The current airport comprises a

runway parallel to the seafront, andthe new airport is beingconstructed on land reclaimedfrom the sea alongside.

During the summer, QatarExecutive added three newBombardier aircraft to its fleet,comprising a Global Express XRS, aGlobal 5000 and a Challenger 605.The company says this is theyoungest fleet of business aircraftin the Gulf, with an average age ofjust one year.

Together with DohaInternational Airport’s groundhandling agent QAS, QatarExecutive offers a full suite ofservices to visiting private andcorporate jets including vip meetand greet and executive groundhandling services, fuel

arrangements, parking, hangaringand aircraft cleaning.

“There is a natural synergy forQatar Airways to transfer its Firstand Business Class passengers,who plan to connect from thecommercial airline’s network toremote destinations, onto itsprivate jet service,” says QatarAirways ceo Akbar Al Baker. “This isa market we are progressivelytapping into, and distinguishes ourservice significantly from otheroperators.”

On the division’s further growthplans, he adds: “Looking to thefuture, we will expand into existingmarkets like Russia and other high-demand European countries, aswell as the rapidly emergingmarkets of Asia.”

Qatar's fleet enjoys all the comforts of home at Doha.

Air Charter Service charityfunds IT in IndiaIn 2011 Air Charter Service says itraised more than $77,000 for itschosen charities – HEAL, CancerResearch UK, The Shooting StarChildren’s Hospice, The Willowfoundation and The InternationalYouth Arts Foundation.

ACS has a dedicated committeehelping to organise an array offund-raising events. All the moneyraised by staff is matched by thecompany, doubling the totalamount.

One of the charities thatbenefitted from the money raised,HEAL, provides shelter, support,education and healthcare to someof the world’s poorest children,with the aim of helping 10,000young people ‘escape the povertytrap’ by 2015.

ACS funded the building of anIT block within HEAL’s new self-sustaining village for orphans inThotapally, India. Chris and TinaLeach, respectively ACS chairmanand company secretary, recentlyvisited the site and described whatthey saw as “absolutely inspiring”.

Looking forward to 2012, Tina,who heads up the ACS charitycommittee, is confident that ACScan provide yet more support to

The result will be an elegant,modern building, with an impressiveentrance and executive ancillaryaccommodation. It will becompletely separate from the mainairport complex and will offerparking right outside the door.

“The project will take the island toa new level in terms of itsinternational reputation,” says flightand ground operations managerJohn Bean. “It will project the rightimage and be a major factor inattracting high value individuals and executives of industry to theisland. As we all know, firstimpressions count!”

Approval to start building wasacquired in October, since when over

10,000 cubic metres of soil has beenremoved to ensure the building is

built within the runway protectedzone. “Although the adverse weatherhas been challenging, setting us backtwo weeks on the schedule, we areconfident this will be made up in thecoming weeks,” says Bean.

The concrete for the foundationsand apron will be ready for pouringin February and the steel for thebuilding itself will be arriving inMarch in time for completion in latesummer 2012.

Partners believe Lugano will be the hub for Italian-speaking Switzerland

E-Aviation Swiss, the establishedFBO operator at Lugano airport, hasteamed up with RUAG Aviation toextend the services it can offerthere.

RUAG already runs an FBO atGeneva airport and has extensivecapabilities in aircraft maintenanceand value-added aircraft services.

Capabilities now offered by thepartner companies at Lugano rangefrom passenger and crew servicesup to technical assistance and linemaintenance. Both RUAG and E-Aviation strongly believe thatLugano Airport will be the business

aviation hub for northern Italy andItalian-speaking Switzerland, and

that professional FBO services willbe essential for the airport'sdevelopment.

RUAG says that its involvementin Lugano is a strategic movefostering proximity to customers,while for E-Aviation the partnershipis an enabler to enlarge the serviceportfolio and grow the business."But most important for bothcompanies is that passengers, crewsand aircraft are getting the bestservice when using Lugano airportin the future," says RUAG's KurtGrüter.
