ExecuJet Aviation Group is expanding the remit of the company's European centralised services department, based at Cambridge Airport in the UK, to encompass ExecuJet's aircraft management services globally.

The new global services department will further enhance aircraft management service levels across the Group through increased efficiencies and economies of scale, offering global trip planning services, maintenance planning and oversight and pilot training and administration.

Gerrit Basson, chief operating officer, ExecuJet Aviation Group, says: “We see our customers benefiting from our global services approach, by being supported globally by a true 24/7 support centre where best industry practices can readily be adopted because of the scale of ExecuJet's operations worldwide.”

John Brutnell, previously operations director of ExecuJet Europe, has been appointed aircraft operations director for ExecuJet Aviation Group and will lead the new centralised services department, in addition to managing ExecuJet Europe's Flight Operations department.

Brutnell says: “I am delighted to be heading up this new Group function – in a challenging economic climate, we are building on our success and optimising operational efficiency throughout the Group.”

Headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, ExecuJet has operations in six regions – Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East – and operates nearly 200 aircraft and 18 FBOs worldwide.
