Jetex announced a new fixed base operator (FBO) location in Marseille, France today. Following the 2009 success of Jetex's first FBO in Paris Le Bourget, this new FBO in Marseille continues the company's progressive expansion throughout the region. The latest Jetex FBO location offers VIP travelers easy access to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France for the 2016 UEFA Europa League.
"Being the second largest French city with no Prior Permission Required (PPR) or other notable restrictions, Marseille is a top candidate to be our second FBO location in France," said Loic La Joye, Jetex FBO network manager. "With the upcoming UEFA Europa League being held in France this summer, Jetex is well placed to better serve football enthusiasts who are interested in catching the games. This Jetex Marseille FBO will facilitate convenient access to UEFA games in Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and Toulouse," said Julien Pedusseau, Jetex Marseille FBO manager.
The Jetex FBO at Marseille Provence Airport (MRS/LFML) is a 24-hour facility, offering round-the-clock customs clearance. Featuring dedicated executive passenger and crew lounges, with a briefing area for pilots to collect and organize flight plans, the Jetex Marseille FBO only requires one hour of prior notice for flights and can easily accommodate large aircraft. The Jetex Marseille FBO offers a complete scope of services that includes all FBO and ramp services, in addition to concierge services for those seeking VIP transportation or hotel accommodations.
Marseille offers direct access to southern France, as well as nearby Monaco via a 45-minute helicopter transfer. With Marseille airport being one of the busiest in France in terms of general aviation (GA) traffic, Jetex is pleased to support each Europa League event via an option of a direct flight, or a quick helicopter ride. Jetex clientele can look forward to more upcoming FBO locations across France in the near future.
