ExecuJet Europe and France’s Ad- vanced Air Support (AAS) launched their new joint-venture FBO at Paris Le Bourget on October 7. AAS is part of France’s Jet Services Group, which has invested almost $1.4 million in the facility that it acquired when it bought Aero Services Handling last year. Now it is set to invest up to another $13 million to upgrade the group’s maintenance operation at Le Bourget, and also to add two more hangars.
Over the past few months the partners refurbished an existing facility, which features two passenger lounges and a pilot lounge, as well as a separate crew rest room and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, plus a snooze room. The facility also offers a wireless Internet connection, satellite TV, catering, parking, meeting rooms and a concierge service. Adjoining the building are a 172,200-sq-ft hangar and 193,750 sq ft of ramp space. The 24/7 operation has 28 employees; there are approximately 30 aircraft based at the facility.
