Sky Valet, Europe’s largest aviation service provider with 22 FBOs in France, Spain and Portugal, will add another to that total after the company was awarded the tender to manage the business aviation terminal at the airport on the Spanish resort island of Ibiza for the next five years. The company, which is owned by Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur, has invested €500,000 ($563,000) in renovations to the building, which is home to two FBOs. When completed next month, ahead of the peak summer season, Sky Valet’s state-of-the-art facility will encompass 575 sq m (6,200 sq ft) and offer luxury passenger lounges, dedicated security screening, conference facilities, offices and dedicated crew areas. An additional 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) of terminal space including the welcome and transit area will be shared between the two FBOs.
“Business aviation has grown significantly over the past few years in Spain, and Sky Valet FBO’s arrival in Ibiza will bring both a strong brand and extensive European network to the airport,” stated Roberto Zapatero, director of Sky Valet Spain (Booth C34). “We are confident that our VIP guests will enjoy the newly-refurbished FBO and we are looking forward to welcoming them very soon.”
