Jet Aviation has recently extended its support services to a network of
six additional airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These include Abha Airport, Taif Airport, Al-Baha
Airport, Najran Airport, Gizan Airport and Rafha Airport.
In direct response to customer demand, Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia is now offering agent assistance upon
request at six additional domestic airports, including Abha Airport (AHB/OEAB); Taif Airport (TIF/OETF); Al-
Baha Airport (ABT/OEBA); Najran Airport (EAM/OENG); Gizan Airport (GIZ/OEGN); and Rafha Airport
(RAF/OERF).
With the approval of the General Authority of Civil Aviation in Saudi Arabia, Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia sought
and gained approval from the six airport authorities to have designated handling
agents from its Jeddah and Riyadh FBOs serve as Jet Aviation agents at these airports. The company then introduced the on-demand
support and supervision service to ensure its clients’ needs and expectations are met
- when and where required.

“Our goal is to continue growing our presence and business aviation offerings where they add value to our
customers,” says Alain Champonnois, vice president and general manager of
Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia. “Many of our international clients traveling within Saudi Arabia needed additional help at the smaller domestic airports
where less English is spoken. We can now dispatch a qualified handling professional to an off-site facility to
ensure they receive support services that meet their discerning standards.”
Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia is a long-standing joint venture company with Saudi Arabian partners and was the
first company to set up an FBO in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company currently operates three FBOs in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in Jeddah since 1979, Riyadh since 1983 and Medina, since 2012. The facilities
in Jeddah and Riyadh hold Saudi Arabian GACA licenses and offer FBO services, line maintenance and
aircraft-on-ground (AOG) services to private, business and military operators. Jet Aviation's ground handling
services at Medina include passenger handling, immigration and customs clearance, transportation, hotel and
catering coordination, aircraft refueling, cleaning and turnaround assistance.
Two managed aircraft added to Middle East
fleet
Jet Aviation has recently added a Gulfstream G450 and a Gulfstream
G550 to its managed fleet in the Middle East. The company now operates a total of 24 aircraft in the
region.
Demand for aviation services in the Middle East remains strong as Jet Aviation continues to grow its
management fleet. The company recently signed two full aircraft management agreements, adding a
Gulfstream G450 and a Gulfstream G550 to its managed fleet of 24 aircraft in the Middle East.
“Our goal is to provide a positive customer experience by upholding the highest business aviation standards,”
says Claudio Peer, vice president of sales for aircraft management and
charter services in EMEA & Asia. “This fleet expansion highlights the value our customers place on our capabilities, professionalism and integrity.”
Jet Aviation now manages more than 250 aircraft from its four strategically located flight operation centers in
Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Hong Kong; Teterboro, N.J.; and Zurich. The company was recently named
winner of the 2014 Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA) Global Excellence Award in recognition of its
outstanding performance and service.
