Jeddah / Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Reported by Elite Traveler, the Private Jet Lifestyle Magazine
Jet Aviation announces that the company will be moving into a new FBO facility in Jeddah by the end of 2010. Jet Aviation will be providing FBO and line maintenance services from a new, state-of-the art facility at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport.
The new Jet Aviation FBO building, located at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport north of Jeddah, offers fast access to King Abdullah Economic City and the Kind Abdullah University. The 3,000-square-meter FBO facility incorporates an innovative passenger flow system. Arrivals, departures and luggage handling functions, including 24/7 border police and customs clearance, occur in different zones to provide faster turn times, better security and enhanced privacy.
The facility offers comfortable passenger and crew lounges, refreshment areas with hot and cold snacks, a newspaper service offering nearly 1,000 different daily and monthly publications, and a 24-hour shuttle to Jeddah’s International terminal. The latest technology in weather briefing and flight planning along with snooze rooms and lounges will be available for flight crews as well.
