ExecuJet Aviation Group targets global business aviation presence

Zurich, Switzerland-based ExecuJet Aviation Group is hotly pursuing the establishment of more FBO (fixed based operations) and MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) facilities as it looks to expand its business aviation solutions in emerging markets in Asia.
ExecuJet Group Managing Director Gerrit Basson heads a team visiting the Singapore Airshow this week. ExecuJet's presence coincides with the opening of its first Asian base at the expanding business aviation airport Seletar, where ExecuJet has just acquired an aircraft hangar for wide-bodied business jets and is now expanding its capacity to provide comprehensive operational and maintenance support to several regional Gulfstream and Bombardier aircraft. The deal gives it an instant foothold in the region.
"We see great opportunities in India and China especially," says Gerrit Basson, who has visited both countries in the past few months. He returns to India in March for a series of industry and media briefings with the Aerion Supersonic Business Jet. The SBJ, for which ExecuJet is the international sales distributor for all territories except the USA, has already won an order from Pakistan. The Akbar Group, for its newly established private jet operator Princely Jets, committed to a Letter of Intent at the Dubai Air Show in November.
