Competition for honours in the EBAN magazine survey to highlight the best FBOs in Europe, the Middle East and Russia could be the closest in the annual survey's 16-year history.

Voting by owners and operators of private aircraft is well under way and EBAN expects many more decisive votes to be cast in the run up to the 10 January 2009 final deadline. Voters must log in with their individual user and pin number received with their copy of the magazine which circulates to all corporate and charter companies in EBAN's circulation area.

As the accompanying article confirms, facilities and services at FBOs are continually being improved and last year's winners will be under greater pressure than ever to maintain or improve on their positions.
