Air Service Basel (ASB) recently welcomed guests from all over the world attending the Art Basel exhibition, which took place in the city from 13-18 June. The annual exhibition featured more than 4,000 artists from 34 countries, showcasing modern and contemporary works, in almost 300 galleries.

During the event ASB’s VIP handling services, which include direct ramp access, limousine transfers and pilot and crew facilities, successfully supported more than 750 customers in a range of private and business aircraft, including six arrivals from China.

FBO manager Sandrine Schmidlin says that teamwork was crucial: “For us Art Basel is one of the busiest times of the year when even the CEO sometimes comes down on the tarmac to lend a hand. That’s one of our strengths as a small FBO; we really take pride in giving every one of our guests a perfect experience and every member of the ASB team is involved in that.

“I'm incredibly proud of the team for its hard work this year and I am also grateful to our partners and the authorities involved at the EuroAirport.”
