History

ExecuJet's first operation in 1991 was at Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg, South Africa. The facility was appointed in 1993 as a Major Service Centre by Honeywell (formerly Allied Signal) and Learjet Authorised Service Facility by Bombardier.

In 1994 ExecuJet became a corporate aviation solution provider, with an emphasis on Europe and the establishment of new headquarters at Zurich Airport. 1995 brought on the appointment as Authorised Service Facility by Canadair and in 1997 ExecuJet opens its first European operation in Denmark (ExecuJet Scandinavia) with an extended sales franchise into Scandinavia by Bombardier.

In 1999 ExecuJet Middle East established a base at Dubai International Airport.[2] In 2005 an addition business aircraft maintenance facility was added.[3]

ExecuJet Australia was founded in 2000 and included an aircraft management and maintenance centre at Sydney Airport. It has since expanded its Asia Pacific operations to facilities in Brisbane and Melbourne.[4] ExecuJet expanded its European operations in 2001 with an aircraft management business, a fixed-base operation (FBO) and its offices in Zurich became the headquarters for ExecuJet Aviation Group. In 2002 ExecuJet expanded its services into Latin America with operations at two Mexican Airports Del Norte International Airport and Mariano Escobedo International, both in Monterrey.

In 2006 an FBO at Berlin Schönefeld Airport was opened and in 2008, ExecuJet opened a maintenance hangar at Singapore's Seletar Airport. Also that year ExecuJet was granted an air operating certificate (AOC) for the UK. The company's offices in the UK are based at London Cambridge where it runs a full service FBO.

Since 2008 ExecuJet has been expanding with new offices in Beijing and Moscow.[5]

In readiness for the 2010 Soccer World Cup ExecuJet South Africa occupied a new FBO Facility at Cape Town International Airport in 2009.[6] In July 2010 ExecuJet Mexico opened a new office at Toluca airport and added a new hangar in 2012.[7] The years 2010 / 2011 saw further expansion with new FBO facilities in Melbourne, Australia and Wellington, New Zealand and has also partnered with aviation companies to manage existing FBOs such as Bilen Air Services for the FBO services at Atatürk Airport, Istanbul, Turkey. A Joint Venture Partnership was established with China SiChuan Haiti and ExecuJet Haiti Aviation Services China was born, based at Tianjin BinHai International Airport.

Over 2 years ExecuJet opened further FBOs in Barcelona, Frankfurt, Girona, Ibiza, Palma and Valencia. From January 2012 ExecuJet Europe took over the management of the former Marshall Business Aviation FBO at Cambridge Airport as ExecuJet’s first full service FBO in the UK.[8] During that same year ExecuJet and RUAG announced a partnership FBO in Geneva. Meanwhile, in Indonesia an agreement was signed with Angkasa Pura for the management of General Aviation Terminals in Indonesia. In Nigeria an FBO was opened at Lagos and our Dubai office expands the FBO at Dubai International Airport.
