Falcon Elite and AviaVIP have commenced an exclusive partnership designed to enhance FBO services for business jet operators travelling between Europe and the United Arab Emirates. The announcement was made at the MEBAA Show, with Falcon Elite becoming a launch member of the recently unveiled AviaVIP Club, signifying a strategic alliance that promises to elevate the VIP customer experience.

Falcon Elite is renowned for its premium FBO services, including at its flagship at Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International. With a strong commitment to excellence, Falcon Elite provides a diverse range of services tailored to meet the discerning needs of its clientele.

As a leading FBO network in Europe, AviaVIP offers comprehensive FBO services across 57 airports in Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Both Falcon Elite and AviaVIP share a vision of innovation and operational excellence. In 2024, they both implemented an extensive refurbishment programme for FBO infrastructure to further enhance customer experience. This collaboration aims to deliver harmonised services and innovative solutions to VIP aircraft owners and operators.

Can Şaşmaz, chief executive officer of Falcon, comments: “This is a significant milestone for Falcon Elite as it gives our customers seamless access to 57 locations in Europe. The partnership ensures world-class service at each location, and we look forward to welcoming AviaVIP customers to their new home at Dubai.”

Laurent Levaux, president of AviaVIP's parent company Aviapartner, expresses enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are thrilled to join forces with Falcon Elite. The establishment of the AviaVIP Club reinforces our leadership in business aviation handling and FBO management in Europe and beyond. Our customers will benefit from the expertise of our partner during their travels to Dubai, and Falcon Elite clientele will experience similar advantages when travelling to Europe.”

Jerome Ferasin, chief strategy and sales officer of AviaVIP, adds: “This partnership with Falcon Elite strengthens AviaVIP's mission to create a unified network for VIP aircraft operations, ensuring a seamless experience for business jet operators. The AviaVIP Club network, launched at MEBAA, already includes 14 airports across the UAE and Egypt in partnership with Aviary, affording our customers access to a total network of 71 exclusive locations across nine countries.”

As this partnership evolves, it is poised to redefine service standards for business and private aviation in both Europe and the Middle East. By combining AviaVIP's expertise with Falcon Elite's exceptional offerings, this collaboration aims to exceed client expectations and deliver extraordinary experiences.
