Jet Aviation Adds to Caribbean Footprint With Puerto Rico FBO

Jet Aviation has signed an agreement with Pazos FBO, one of two aviation services providers at Puerto Rico’s Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, that will see the location rebranded as Jet Aviation San Juan.

“This enables us to continue to provide the very best in FBO and flight-management services to customers,” noted Jet Aviation Group president Rob Smith. “The brand new San Juan-based FBO, with more than 20,000 sq ft of space including expanding aircraft parking ramp with capacity for increased traffic and future additional hangar facilities, is the perfect fit for Jet Aviation to continue expanding our reach within the region.”

The $6 million FBO, which opened last fall, includes a pilot suite with showers and snooze room, flight planning area, executive passenger lounge, A/V-equipped conference room and aircraft maintenance.

The facility, which will be managed by the General Dynamics subsidiary as its 10th location in the Americas, is the only FBO in Puerto Rico with a full-service, onsite U.S. Customs and Border Protection terminal for convenient customs, immigration and agricultural clearance of international flights. The airport is a key U.S. entry port for aircraft from the Caribbean and South America.

“For decades, we have provided our clientele with premiere services, which are now enhanced by the company’s new state-of-the-art FBO installation,” said Pazos president Jose Maldonado. “Adding Jet Aviation’s global strength, resources and management expertise is the perfect next step for us.”
