Another successful WEF for ExecuJet Zurich

The ExecuJet Aviation Group reported an exceptionally busy period during 25-29th January supporting visiting jets whose VIP passengers were headed for the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting held at Davos-Klosters in Switzerland. The company handled over 300 private aviation movements during the event with a high majority being ultra-long range aircraft.

To facilitate additional aircraft parking requirements during the WEF, ExecuJet once again secured an exclusive agreement with Dübendorf Airport (LSMD) the military-owned airport conveniently located just 5 nm north of Zurich airport. The facility proved extremely popular this year with ExecuJet handling over double the amount of aircraft compared with last year.

Viviane Sigg, who has recently been appointed as FBO Manager at Zurich said: "The WEF is always our busiest time of year in Zurich and it was a tremendous responsibility for me to oversee ExecuJet's facilities at Zurich and Dübendorf during such a crucial event. We handled flights for visiting VIPs from all over the world, including several European and International Heads of State. The team rose to the task and I'm delighted that ExecuJet's business aviation clients were able to arrive and depart with ease." Viviane has replaced Nicole Gut who continues her role as Director European FBOs for ExecuJet's fast growing European FBO network.

ExecuJet operates 10 FBOs in Europe and a further six in strategically located destinations worldwide. In Europe ExecuJet provides handling and FBO services in Zurich, Berlin, Paris (in partnership with Advanced Air Support) Frankfurt, Palma, Gerona, Barcelona, Ibiza and Valencia as well as the newly opened FBO in Cambridge, ideally located just on hour north of the Olympic Stadium.
