Sky Valet Makes Major Buy
The French service provider adds 10 locations to its nework with the purchase of Portuguese network Jetbase

Sky Valet, the FBO and ground-handling network owned by Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur (Booth E035), has expanded its business with yesterday’s announcement that it has acquired Portuguese service provider Jetbase. The move gives Sky Valet FBOs at all the main Portuguese airports such as Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Cascais, and Beja, along with ground handling operations on the islands of Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde. It also includes handling businesses in Mozambique and Angola.

Combined, Jetbase sees approximately 4,000 movements a year. That together with the 58,000 operations typically logged by Sky Valet at its 18 locations including Paris Le Bourget, Cannes, Madrid and Barcelona, makes the company one of the largest service providers in Europe.
