Sydney International Airport selects ExecuJet as sole FBO operator

ExecuJet, part of the Luxaviation Group, has announced its appointment as the sole Fixed Base Operator at Sydney International Airport, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of premium ground handling and passenger services in the Asia-Pacific region.

ExecuJet was selected following a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation of leading international FBO operators, based on its proven operational expertise, strong safety culture, service excellence, and ability to support the long-term development of private and business aviation at Australia’s primary international gateway.

The process reflects Sydney Airport’s ambition to partner with an operator capable of delivering a redefined and elevated service offering for VIP passengers and private aircraft operators.

As sole FBO operator, ExecuJet will be responsible for the full suite of ground handling services at Sydney International Airport, including aircraft handling and coordination, passenger and crew services, ramp operations, and concierge support, enabling enhanced efficiency, capacity, and service quality for aircraft operators and VIP passengers alike. This mandate positions ExecuJet to help shape the future of private aviation in Australia, while further strengthening its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region and its global network of world-class FBOs.

Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, said: “Being appointed as the sole FBO operator at Sydney International Airport is a clear endorsement of ExecuJet’s capabilities and long-term commitment to the region. This allows us to elevate service standards, invest with confidence, and meet the evolving needs of operators and VIP passengers at one of the world’s most
important international airports.”

To support this mandate, ExecuJet is committing to significant investments across people, infrastructure, and equipment. These include the recruitment of new team members across operations and guest services, the introduction of state-of-the-art ground handling equipment, and the phased redevelopment of the existing FBO facilities in close collaboration with Sydney Airport.

Darren McGoldrick, Vice President Asia Pacific, Luxaviation Group, commented: “Sydney is one of the most important aviation gateways in the Asia-Pacific region, and this appointment reflects the confidence placed in ExecuJet’s local teams and operational capabilities. Working closely with Sydney Airport, we are focused on delivering a redefined FBO experience that supports operators, crews, and passengers, while building a strong platform for the long-term growth of private aviation in Australia.”
