The new addition to Jet Aviation’s worldwide FBO network will be rebranded as Jet Aviation Bahamas.

EFS’s facility comprises 305,000 square feet of ramp and a full-service FBO terminal building that includes onsite Bahamas Customs and Immigration available 24 hours, concierge service, computerized flight planning, pilot lounge, executive lounges, conference room, courtesy offices, on-site car rental and 20,000 square feet of hangar space.

The company will remodel the 10,000 square foot FBO to upgrade its interior including a new lobby, pilot’s lounge, VIP rooms and conference rooms to be completed by summer 2015. The existing ramp will be repaved and expanded by an additional 174,000 square feet to accommodate the growing traffic. Starting in 2015, EFS will also add four new 25,000 square foot hangars to the facility.

"EFS has always been committed to service excellence, and an alliance with Jet Aviation and its global recognition as a leading business aviation organization complements our strategy," said Alphonso Bowe, owner and managing director, Executive Flight Support.

"Jet Aviation is very honored that EFS chose to join our network of FBOs worldwide to serve our mutual clients while offering the highest standard in the FBO industry,” said Gary Dempsey, president, U.S. Aircraft Services. “As a key gateway for international traffic from Europe, the Middle and Far East, and South America, EFS is the perfect addition to our network.”
