Jet Aviation Opens New Dubai World Central FBO

Jet Aviation has opened a new FBO at Dubai World Central to take the pressure off its facility at Dubai International Airport (DXB), which at certain times of the day is unable to obtain slots for airplanes to land.

Philippe Gerard, FBO director for Jet Aviation in Dubai, said yesterday that the new FBO opened last Friday and has already processed 200 crew and about 45 passengers. “We are looking to move 50 percent of our traffic from Dubai International to Dubai World Central, or 150 to 200 flights a month, when we become fully operational,” he said.
