Universal Aviation has completed an overhaul of its FBO at Ireland’s Shannon Airport, which it has operated since 2003. Customer feedback shaped the renovation of the facility’s approximately 600-sq-ft departure lounge and its crew lounge, kitchen and operations offices. Shannon is the only European or Gulf-region airport to offer U.S. Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance, allowing private aircraft to proceed directly to their destination in the U.S., and as such it sees a large amount of business aviation traffic.
