Jetex currently operates or has contracts to construct 29 FBOs worldwide and aims to open its 50th such facility by 2020, CEO Adel Mardini confirmed last week at the Corporate Jet Investor Dubai conference. Among the existing&nbsp;Jetex FBOs are three facilities in Spain, five in Morocco and one each in Dubai, Paris, and Florida. Mardini said&nbsp;the company’s footprint will be entirely global, with an additional 21 new FBOs, by 2020.

 


Jetex's website refers to two operations in Morocco—at Casablanca and Marrakech—while Mardini confirmed that construction is still taking place on a further three in that country. At the MEBAA Expo in Marrakech in September, he said Jetex has won 20 percent market share at its Paris Le Bourget facility.

 


Jetex won significant market presence at Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport when it managed, as the first adopter during a period of slow industry interest, to take half the space allocated for four common-user FBOs at the VIP terminal at the airport. Abu Dhabi's Falcon Aviation and Jet Aviation took the remaining two slots.

 


Mardini also said Jetex’s strong push into the global FBO business does not mean a reduction in the importance of its flight support and planning business.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
