FBO and ground handling services group Euro Jet Intercontinental has stepped up investments in its network of facilities, which are concentrated mainly in central and Eastern Europe. In recent weeks, the Czech Republic-based group opened a new crew lounge at Prague Vaclav Havel International Airport, with space to relax and work alongside the FBO’s hangar.
At the same time, Euro Jet is working to reduce carbon emissions from its operations, with plans to replace existing ground support cars with electric vehicles. This process also started in Prague with the recent delivery of a Mercedes-Benz EQV van for transporting passengers and crew. Euro Jet marketing manager Jana Midriakova told AIN there are plans to further reduce carbon emissions at its 17 facilities in Europe.
The group, which was founded in 2008, also has flight support agents ready to help clients at some 170 airports in locations, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, North Macedonia, Moldova, Hungary, and across central Asia in Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. It employs around 200 multi-lingual, English-speaking staff with more than 30 different nationalities.
Other Euro Jet FBOs are located in Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, and Ukraine, where it has maintained a presence at the capital Kyiv even in the wake of the Russian invasion. The most recent additions to the network have been Sarajevo in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Rzeszow in Poland.
In addition to business aircraft, Euro Jet also serves passenger and freight airlines, especially in locations where they may have little presence and when special flights need to be arranged at short notice.
Euro Jet also provides flight planning, contract fuel purchases, flight permits, catering, and crew accommodation. The group supports more than 15,000 flights each year from its 24/7 operations control center in Prague.
