Luxaviation celebrates IS-BAH and Auckland successes
Luxaviation bought the Air Center One base at Auckland International airport in January 2022, and is thrilled with how well that FBO has performed in its first year. IS-BAH achievements recognise its hard work.
The team in Sydney is pleased to have achieved record movement numbers.

ExecuJet, part of the Luxaviation Group, is celebrating its FBO upgrades in the APAC region as the company heads to the Avalon 2023 Australian International Airshow. ExecuJet and Luxaviation will be discussing plans and highlighting their latest achievements in the region.

Luxaviation Asia Pacific VP Darren McGoldrick says: “One topic will be the continuing improvements and expansion of our FBO network. We're celebrating record movement numbers in 2022 at our ExecuJet bases in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia and Auckland in New Zealand. We only bought the Air Center One base at Auckland International airport in January 2022, so we're naturally thrilled with how well that FBO has performed in our first year of ownership. The team there has done a fantastic job in delivering such a high level of service and managing client communications as we integrate the FBO into our brand.”

Luxaviation CEO Patrick Hansen adds: “As the post-pandemic recovery continues, our business and leisure traffic across the APAC region is increasing not only domestically but internationally too. In fact, our movement numbers are rising even above pre-COVID levels. And we're also still celebrating our two Australian FBOs gaining IS-BAH Stage III accreditation in 2022.

“ExecuJet Sydney and Melbourne were not only the first FBOs in Australia or New Zealand to secure IS-BAH Stage III accreditation but also the first FBOs in our global network to achieve this status. IS-BAH Stage III accreditation verifies our safety management activities are fully integrated into our business and we are sustaining a positive safety culture. We believe in the best, in service and safety at Luxaviation Group and ExecuJet. Our commitment to IS-BAH is critical in delivering a consistently high level of service to our clients globally.”
