AviaVIP’s exclusive AviaVIP Club heralds MENA expansion
AviaVIP is positioning itself to collaborate and establish a co-branding initiative with major operators in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

AviaVIP has launched its AviaVIP Club, an initiative designed to enhance the company’s network of stations. Currently serving 57 airports across Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, AviaVIP is poised to further expand its in footprint into new markets by forming exclusive partnerships with renowned FBO operators.

The AviaVIP Club label offers commercial power, brand recognition and network visibility, while allowing partners to maintain their independence. The first members herald an expansion to two major countries from the Middle East and North Africa region.

Laurent Levaux, president of Aviapartner, AviaVIP’s parent company, says: “The creation of the AviaVIP Club reinforces our status as the undisputed leader in business aviation handling and FBO management in Europe. This initiative accelerates our network expansion while benefiting from the expertise of the AviaVIP Club partners.”

In addition to fostering external partnerships, AviaVIP remains dedicated to internal growth, focusing on establishing new FBOs across Europe. Levaux adds: “Our commitment to expanding our network while maintaining exceptional service standards is key to our ongoing success.”

Jerome Ferasin, chief strategy and sales officer of AviaVIP, concludes: “The initiation of the AviaVIP Club opens an extended network of airports to our customers. This expansion reinforces AviaVIP’s mission to create a consolidated network for VIP aircraft operations, ensuring a seamless and harmonised experience for business jet operators and flight support companies.”
