Jet Aviation Singapore joins ACJ service network
The company's facility has become the first Airbus Corporate Jet authorised service centre in the Asia Pacific, offering maintenance, refurbishment and warranty services for ACJ aircraft.
Chadi Saade, president of Airbus Corporate Jets, shook hands over the deal with David Best, Jet Aviation’s senior vice president of regional operations Americas and interim Asia Pacific.

Jet Aviation’s Singapore facility has been accredited as an authorised service centre for Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ), making it the first in Asia Pacific and the third within Jet Aviation’s network, alongside Basel and Dubai. The approval allows the site to perform maintenance, modifications, warranty work, cabin refurbishments and software upgrades for ACJ 318/319/320/321 aircraft in the region.

A signing ceremony at Seletar airport marked the announcement, attended by Jet Aviation senior vice president regional operations Americas and interim APAC David Best and Airbus Corporate Jets president Chadi Saade. Best says: “Singapore is a key business aviation maintenance hub in Asia-Pacific, with excellent connectivity to the region and beyond. This extension of our on-site capabilities builds on our ongoing global partnership with ACJ and our commitment to providing a seamless service for Airbus customers wherever and whenever they need us.”

Saade adds: “We are delighted to extend our long-term partnership with Jet Aviation. Very soon our customers in Asia will be able to receive the same high-quality Airbus-approved services in Singapore that are already available at Jet Aviation's facilities in Basel and Dubai.”

Jet Aviation has operated in Singapore since 1995, providing maintenance, FBO and flight services. Its facility includes six hangars covering 15,000 square metres and offers capabilities such as heavy maintenance, refurbishments, modifications, aftermarket services, PPI and AOG support. The site holds EASA Part 145 approval and multiple national certifications.
