Belfast International airport-based FBO Jet Assist has been selected by the Corporate Aircraft Association (CAA) as a preferred ground handling and fuel partner. The company becomes the second FBO in Europe awarded preferred status by CAA, the other being Signature Flight Support at Shannon airport. Corporate Aircraft Association members considered fuel price, handling fees and service when voting.

Head of business development David Hull says: “Jet Assist has seen steady growth over the last three years, and receiving the support of CAA membership validates our customer centric approach to meeting the operational needs of business aviation at Belfast International airport.

“We handle qualifying tech stops on the demarcated ramp ensuring smooth turnarounds, and we are the only company in Ireland with in-house security screening. We also manage organ donor and organ transplant teams for UK hospitals, which means we are always contactable 24/7 with immediate response.”

Corporate Aircraft Association president Bob Bordes adds: “I am happy to welcome Jet Assist in Belfast, Northern Ireland into the CAA Preferred network. Belfast becomes the second CAA FBO in Europe and is strategically located to serve our members as they traverse the Atlantic. Jet Assist in Belfast represents a continuing growth of the CAA network outside of the Western Hemisphere. We wish it the best and hope our members consider it on their next trip to Europe.”
