Jet Aviation expanded its Zurich operation in June 2021 via the acquisition of the former ExecuJet Zurich FBO facilities.
Jet Aviation will be offering a line maintenance service through its new hangar facility in Zurich. The facility is authorized to perform line maintenance on a range of business aircraft, including the Gulfstream series, with immediate effect.
Situated at Jet Aviation’s Zurich North FBO, the facility will initially receive approval under an extension of the company’s Basel site authorizations prior to undergoing an audit for Line Maintenance Repair Station approval by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA).
Cyril Martiniere, Jet Aviation’s VP MRO Services Europe & GM Basel said, “We are delighted to extend our European MRO network to Zurich. We saw an opportunity to better meet the needs of our clients through the strength of our MRO network and this facility is our way of delivering the highest benefit to business aviation owners and operators in the region.”
