Jet Aviation has launched a major renovation and rehabilitation program for its FBOs across the U.S. “Our customers will soon find new or renovated facilities from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Van Nuys, California, and at Dallas, Texas, in between,” said David Paddock, the company’s senior vice president and general manager for U.S. regional operations. “We like to say we’re investing in our customers by ensuring our FBOs have the space, fixtures, and capabilities to deliver the very best service to owners, passengers, and flight crews, and their aircraft, no matter where their business or leisure flights take them.”

At Teterboro, the General Dynamics subsidiary is about to begin construction on a new 40,000-sq-ft hangar, which will be able to accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. Jet Aviation expects to complete the hangar next summer. While the construction takes place, the company’s terminal will also be renovated.

In California, construction has begun on a brand new FBO complex on its Van Nuys Airport leasehold where eight previous buildings were demolished earlier this year. Plans call for a 10,000-sq-ft terminal, along with a 42,250-sq-ft hangar that has an additional 20,000 sq ft of office space. The company is currently operating from a temporary facility in Van Nuys. Its new fuel farm, which includes two 30,000-gallon tanks, will be expanded with another pair of 30,000-gallon tanks and a 12,000 tank by the time the new facility debuts in summer 2019.

Meanwhile, a major rebuild of the first floor is in store for the Jet Aviation terminal at Dallas Love Field. The improvements will include enlarging the CSR desk area and expanding the lounge for more seating.

The company (Booth 274) recently completed the refurbishment of its 30,000-sq-ft terminal at Boston-area Laurence G. Hanscom Field Airport, and added a new 40,000-sq-ft hangar, bringing it to a total of more than 124,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space. Duncan Aviation has since established a new avionics facility in one of the location’s hangars.

Along with the improvements to its bases, Jet Aviation has also expanded its global aircraft management fleet by 28 aircraft, including 15 in the U.S. and 13 in the EMEA and Asia regions. Of the 15 in the U.S., eight are available for charter, ranging from a Gulfstream G650 to a Sikorsky S-76D helicopter. The remaining 13 consist of eight based in the Middle East and Africa, three in Europe, and two in Asia.

Jet Aviation also noted its Basel facility has received an FAA STC for ADS-B Out compliance for the Boeing 747 series, following its earlier EASA approval announced in August.
