Jet Aviation’s Basel completions centre has taken delivery of the first of two Boeing Business Jet 777-300ERs for interior fit-out, commissioned by the airframer on behalf of a government client based in Asia.
The widebody twinjet, which arrived at the Swiss site in October, is the first BBJ 777 VVIP completion for Jet Aviation.
“We know Jet Aviation’s commitment to quality matches our own,” says David Longridge, president of Boeing Business Jets. “They have a demonstrated capability to fit exceptional widebody interiors that combine beautiful design and craftsmanship with cutting-edge engineering and technology.”
Neil Boyle, senior vice-president and general manager of Jet Aviation’s Basel facility, says: “We have a long history of working together with Boeing Business Jets and are delighted to partner with them on our first BBJ 777-300ER interior completions.”
Meanwhile, Jet Aviation has added 11 aircraft to its managed fleet in the United States over the past five months, and nine to its EMEA & Asia operation.
US arrivals include a Chicago-based Gulfstream G650; a GIV-SP, a GV and a G550, all based in Teterboro, New Jersey; and a G200 and G450 alongside a Bombardier Global Express based in Burbank, California.
“As the demand for management services increases, Jet Aviation continues to provide the support and services to meet those needs,” says Don Haloburdo, vice-president and general manager of Jet Aviation Flight Services.
