Citing Covid-19 Effects, Air Service Basel To Exit Mx
The Basel-Switzerland-based FBO operator looks to develop new areas of business when it exits maintenance, effective August 1.

Air Service Basel (ASB) plans to wind down its aircraft maintenance operation by August 1, citing economic pressures caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. “Business aviation has undoubtedly been facing challenges for a while now and the coronavirus pandemic has certainly not been in our favor,” said ASB chief executive Claudio Lasagni. “It’s with a heavy heart that we close the maintenance department, but we remain positive about the industry bouncing back after this crisis.”
