Jet Aviation recently signed an agreement with Universal Aviation France SARL to establish a line maintenance and AOG operation at the Le Bourget Business Aviation Airport outside of Paris, France. Pending EASA approval, it should be fully operational in May.
Jet Aviation will establish a line maintenance operation at the Le Bourget Business Aviation Airport outside of Paris, France. The new operation will provide line maintenance services, small inspections and AOG support for various aircraft types, including Airbus, Boeing Business Jets, Bombardier and Gulfstream.
The agreement between the companies will strengthen both operations at Le Bourget, one of the leading Business Aviation Airports in Europe. Through it, Universal Aviation will be able to make maintenance services available to its customers through Jet Aviation, and Jet Aviation will benefit from Universal Aviation's excellent operational infrastructure, including a 3,000 square meter heated hangar, VIP lounge, crew lounge, conference facilities and ramp access. Operators using Jet Aviation's maintenance services will also benefit from discounts on Universal Aviation's ground support services.
According to Sandrine Jackson, Managing Director, Universal Aviation France SARL, "We are pleased to team up with a company of such renown as Jet Aviation to help us better serve our customer base. Having this new capability from Jet Aviation at our facility at Le Bourget will be a great benefit for aircraft that require line maintenance when they come into the airport. It is a need that is not met today and will be welcomed by our customers and other operators flying to Paris."
Christof Späth, Jet Aviation's senior vice president MRO & FBO services for EMEA & Asia, adds: "This relationship is advantageous for both companies. We are very pleased that we will be able to offer additional services to our customers at Le Bourget."
Jonathan Howells, Regional Director Europe, Middle East and Africa for Universal Aviation said, "We are delighted to be working with Jet Aviation at Paris and feel both Jet Aviation and Universal Aviation customers will benefit."
