Universal Aviation Adds Five FBOs to Global Network

With international private aviation traffic strongly rebounding, Universal Aviation—the ground handling arm of Universal Weather and Aviation—has added five more locations to its certified global FBO network. Each of these facilities has passed the Houston-based company’s audit for ground handling, quality, training, safety, consistency, and customer service standards.

The facilities include Skylink Executive in Cyprus, an IS-BAH Stage 2-registered facility is located at Larnaca International Airport; Nile Valley Aviation at Cairo International Airport, the first ground handler to be certified by Egypt’s Civil Aviation authority; German Aviation Service’s facility at Frankfurt International Airport, which can handle everything from private jets to head-of-state aircraft; Peru’s Servicio Universal de Aviacion at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, which has been in operation for nearly a half-century; and Standard Aviation at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas, which has after-hours customs clearance and hangar space to accommodate ultra-long-range business jets. These locations bring the Universal network to 70 FBOs worldwide.

“Our new members all have outstanding track records and unmatched local expertise,” said Universal Aviation senior v-p Adolfo Aragon. “Their addition to our growing global network will be invaluable in helping provide our customers with a consistent level of service that meets the growing demand at these locations.”
