Jet Aviation is here at EBACE’07 (Booth No. 776) with recent news of its launching a $35 million investment program at its Basel facility to add ramp space and a hangar large enough to accommodate an Airbus A380 and a Boeing B747 simultaneously. The expansion will more than double its existing 248,000 sq ft of covered space and by next year will increase the completion shop’s annual capacity to 20 Dassault Falcons (with the first green 7X to arrive soon), plus six airliners. The company is also hiring up to 400 additional staff.
The Basel facility is an official completion center for green Falcon 900EXs and 2000EXs, as well as Boeing BBJs and Airbus ACJs. In addition, the company offers VIP cabin completions for used executive aircraft such as Gulfstreams and Bombardier Challengers. The shop also has outfitted several B737s, 757s, 767s and 747s. The largest aircraft currently in Basel are an A330 and a 747-400; a green A340-600 is scheduled to arrive in early 2008.
