P.T. ExecuJet Indonesia, a joint venture between ExecuJet Aviation Group and majority owner P.T. Dimitri Utama Abadi, is preparing to move from the temporary general aviation (GA) terminal at Bali International Airport to a new facility in the next two months.
ExecuJet is currently operating from a temporary terminal covering 300 sqm until the new 3,180 sqm GA terminal is completed. A purpose-built, 65,900 sqm apron has been constructed adjacent to the new terminal, designed to handle all GA and business aircraft up to narrowbody airliners.
ExecuJet's Bali terminal most recently handled a Boeing 737-800 undergoing an engine change, operated by Air Vanuatu. Other aircraft using the terminal range from an Antonov An-12 Cargo to a Bombardier Global Express.
New FBO manager Further strengthening ExecuJet's presence in Indonesia, Gary Forster has been appointed the company's FBO manager in Bali. Most recently ExecuJet FBO manager in Riyadh, Forster has a wealth of aviation experience and previously worked for companies including BP, where he held the post of terminal manager.
Forster says: “I am very pleased to be joining the ExecuJet team in Bali and we are delighted with the progress so far. There has been strong demand at the temporary terminal since operations began in October 2013. We are providing a much-needed service for private jet operators in south-east Asia. We will continue to provide the same high level of customer service found at our FBOs across the world."
The Bali facility was the first terminal to be opened following the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation in June 2012 for ExecuJet to exclusively design, construct and manage GA terminals at up to 13 airports managed by state-owned Indonesian aviation company Angkasa Pura 1.
P.T. Dimitri Utama Abadi is a new private company formed to serve as the Indonesian partner for the joint venture P.T. ExecuJet Indonesia.
At the Singapore Airshow ExecuJet is exhibiting at stand D87, Changi Exhibition Centre, from February 11-16 and will also be associated with the Swiss Pavilion (stand F87).
