Jet Aviation Abu Dhabi has appointed Peter Lewis as its senior manager, responsible for overseeing its operations at Al Bateen Executive Airport. Lewis will report directly to Michael Rücker, vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Dubai. As a 30-year veteran of the business aviation industry, Lewis brings a wealth of experience to this new position, particularly in maintenance, project management and quality assurance.

The company has also secured 1,200 sq. m. hangar space in Hangar 30 while its dedicated 2,400 sq. m. (25, 833 sq. ft.) Hangar 36 is fully refurbished. Hangar 36 is expected to be operational in April 2012 and will feature a new state-of-the-art folding door.

"By leasing the temporary hangar space, we can meet our customers' demand to begin providing line maintenance support at Al Bateen," says Rücker. "This service expansion represents a significant gain to our global MRO and FBO network, and with the addition of Peter to our team, we have every confidence the company's high-quality standards will be seen at our new branch."
