Flyinggroup, an aircraft management and charter company headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, with bases in Luxembourg and Malta, has signed an FBO agreement with Jet Aviation. Flyinggroup operates a fleet of some 40 diverse aircraft based in Europe. Jet Aviation will support the operator's fleet with handling services through its network of FBOs in EMEA and Asia.

Jet Aviation's FBOs provide customers with executive VIP terminals, conference rooms, business services, passenger and crew lounges, snooze rooms, crew showers and weather and flight planning services. The company offers private aircraft handling and full FBO services, including domestic and international flight handling, fuelling, aircraft cleaning, de-icing, immigration and customs services, and passenger and crew services, such as catering, hotel accommodation and local transport arrangements.

Jurgen Van Campenhout, Flyinggroup COO, says: “We were seeking a partner with a wide FBO network to help support our growing fleet and with similar values to those at Flyinggroup. Jet Aviation has a long and demonstrable record in safety, security and quality of service, which we are pleased to extend to our customers. Flyinggroup looks to establish long-term relationships with our service providers, and we look forward to a long and productive partnership with Jet Aviation.”

“Our goal is to ensure the comfort and safety of aircraft owners and operators as they fly around the world,” adds Joao Martins, Jet Aviation VP regional FBO operations Europe and general manager Zurich. “This agreement is a testament to the quality of Jet Aviation's handling services. We have supported Flyinggroup since 1998 and, like it, our team of handling professionals is wholly committed to upholding the highest industry standards. We are very pleased to continue welcoming Flyinggroup passengers and aircraft throughout our network.”
