This month, French company Aviaxess will open a helicopter FBO at Paris Heliport, Issy-le-Molyneaux, in addition to starting a fractional helicopter and jet program.
“A helicopter FBO is a new idea in France,” said CEO Frederic Aguettant, who was formerly with neighbor Paris Helicoptère. “We have only traditional jet FBOs at larger airports. But just like jets, our customers and crews deserve a place to welcome their passengers, pick up flight information, securely store their aircraft indoors–in fact all the services you would expect to find at a normal FBO.”
The new business is moving into one floor of a newly constructed office building at the citycenter heliport. Automobile parking is available, along with catering facilities. Amenities include TV, computers, hotel accommodations, on-site fuel and transport, including a limo service. “We thought it was important to make this available in Paris,” he said.
