European FBO operator AviaVIP has launched the AviaVIP Club in an exclusive partnership with Egypt-based Aviary and the UAE’s Falcon Elite.&nbsp;
Falcon Elite, located at Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW), offers FBO and other VIP services. Headquartered in Cairo, Aviary offers a comprehensive range of services for business jet operators, including VIP customer reception and business aviation handling. Its team covers 13 airports across Egypt, including Cairo, Hurghada, Elalamein, Giza, Luxor, and Sharm El Sheikh.
According to the partners, the AviaVIP Club label will reflect a stronger combined service offering and brand recognition, while allowing each company to maintain its independence. The companies said they will deliver harmonized services to clients across nine countries, significantly enhancing their operational reach with a network of 71 airports.
“This is a significant milestone for Falcon Elite as it gives our customers seamless access to 57 locations in Europe,”&nbsp;Can Şaşmaz, Falcon Elite’s CEO, said.&nbsp;“The partnership ensures world-class service at each location, and we look forward to welcoming AviaVIP customers to their new home at Dubai.”
Meanwhile, AviaVIP continues to establish new FBOs across Europe. The group was rebranded in April 2023 through an earlier partnership between business aviation service groups Aviapartner and Italy's Argos VIP.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Falcon Elite and Aviary,” said Laurent Levaux, president of Aviapartner. “The establishment of the AviaVIP Club reinforces our leadership in business aviation handling and FBO management in Europe and beyond. Our customers will benefit from the expertise of our partner during their travels to Dubai and Egypt, and our partners’ clientele will experience similar advantages when traveling to Europe.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
