Flexjet unveils its first dedicated European terminal at Farnborough

Flexjet has officially opened a $34m private terminal at Farnborough Airport, becoming the company’s first dedicated facility of its kind in Europe.

The 2,098m² terminal, located in a new airside building separate from Farnborough’s main terminal, is exclusively for Flexjet aircraft Owners and their guests. It provides private lounges and meeting areas, a dedicated security and immigration facility, and direct access to the ramp.

Among the facility’s features is a full-size recreation of the cabin of a Flexjet Gulfstream G700, including a master bedroom suite, while the Owners Bar & Lounge overlooks the airfield. The building also houses Flexjet’s European headquarters and Tactical Control Centre, together with an expanded training facility for its cabin staff.

The opening expands Flexjet’s network of dedicated terminals, with nine facilities either operational or under development in the US. The company also operates a dedicated terminal at Teterboro Airport serving New York.

Flexjet has simultaneously expanded its Farnborough presence with a new 3,530m² Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) hangar, providing dedicated maintenance for its global fleet.

Two years on from the start of construction, the Farnborough terminal opening was marked by a ceremonial event for VIP guests and stakeholders hosted by Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci, who said: “This opening establishes one of the most significant branded luxury environments in private aviation and is a defining moment in Flexjet’s global expansion. It is our most ambitious infrastructure completion to date, beyond our North American headquarters."

The company operates a fleet of more than 350 aircraft and helicopters, with infrastructure spanning more than 25 locations worldwide.
