Jet Aviation has opened its new 40,000 sq ft hangar and completely renovated FBO in Teterboro, New Jersey. The company held a pre-opening celebration at the hangar in August, and has now received its final operating approval. Built to meet growing demand for long-range business jets, the new hangar can accommodate most large aircraft.

The construction is part of Jet Aviation's efforts to expand and improve its global FBO network of 35 locations. The company is investing heavily to ensure its facilities are designed and equipped to meet all the business aviation needs of its global customers.

Jet Aviation has invested more than $25 million in its Teterboro facility, including a complete renovation of its FBO and construction of a 40,000 sq ft hangar equipped with 30 ft doors that can accommodate aircraft as large as the Gulfstream 650. The FBO incorporates new standard design elements that will ensure customers have a consistent experience when visiting any of the company's sites worldwide. Guests and crew can relax and enjoy the many amenities, including dedicated passenger and crew lounges, a flight planning room, executive conference rooms, a business centre, a health/fitness spa and on-site US customs services.

“We are committed to growing Jet Aviation's position as a leading business aviation service provider in the United States,” says senior vice president and general manager, regional operations USA David Best. “Teterboro's location in relation to the busy New York metro area market makes it a highly attractive location to many business jet owners and operators. Our expansion makes it easier for customers to access this important market.”

According to vice president, regional operations, USA East John Langevin, the hangar was designed to accommodate the larger ultra-long-range aircraft entering the market: “These improvements at the Teterboro site demonstrate how we at Jet continually strive to meet our customers' changing requirements to the highest quality and safety standards.”

Construction and renovation is under way or pending in the US and Caribbean at six of Jet Aviation's 13 regional locations. This includes an entirely new FBO and hangar complex that is nearing completion at Van Nuys, California. Hangar expansions in San Juan, Puerto Rico and West Palm Beach, Florida are ongoing and significant renovations will soon be underway at the Dallas, Texas FBO. The company is preparing to begin construction on its newest FBO in Scottsdale, Arizona, where it has recently acquired a stake in the Scottsdale Jet Center.
