ExecuJet Middle East, part of the ExecuJet Aviation Group, is celebrating another year of successful expansion in the region.

The company's new fixed-based operation (FBO) in Riyadh, run in partnership with NasJet, the private aviation arm of Saudi Arabia's National Air Service, is performing well and has handled a range of jets, including Airbus aircraft, since operations began.

Mike Berry, managing director, ExecuJet Middle East, says: “The first few months of operation at our Riyadh FBO have been very successful and we are already looking to expand. We expect to handle 3000 aircraft movements in our first year and we are already recruiting extra staff to be in place by the end of 2013.”

The Riyadh FBO facilities include a crew room, ramp, operations and administration offices, all housed in the existing Private Aviation Terminal.

In addition, ExecuJet Middle East and Bilen Air Service have signed a new contract to extend their FBO partnership in Istanbul, Turkey. The two companies joined forces in 2011, offering FBO services at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, before extending the partnership to include aircraft handling at Sabiha Gokchen Airport in 2012.

Mark Hardman, operations director, ExecuJet Middle East, says: “We are delighted with the way our relationship with Bilen Air Service has developed. As in all partnerships, mutual benefit has been key to our success. We are exceptionally pleased with how our FBOs at Atatürk and Sabiha Gokchen have grown and look forward to extending our partnership further.”

ExecuJet is exhibiting at this year's Dubai Airshow from 17-21 November at the Dubai World Central Airport at stand 2406.
