Luxaviation is expanding its ExecuJet network of FBOs through a partnership with Samson Executive Jet Centre at Newcastle International Airport in the UK. Under the co-branding agreement announced today, Samson’s private jet terminal will become one of more than 100 ExecuJet locations worldwide.
In addition to ground handling, crew support, and concierge services, Samson Executive Jet Centre also arranges charter flights, which complements Luxaviation’s activities in this area. The partners said they want to help raise the profile of Newcastle International Airport as a gateway for business and leisure travelers heading to northeast England.
As part of the Luxaviation Group, ExecuJet directly operates 24 FBOs worldwide, including its co-branded facilities in Turkey with Bilen and in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The wider global network includes more than 100 facilities, including those run by its partners EDEIS in France (16 FBOs) and Paragon in the U.S. (approximately 70 sites).
“I am proud to be from the area and to have worked all over the world for Luxaviation,” said Luxaviation Group FBO services manager Gary Forster. “I have always monitored Newcastle International Airport and would like nothing better than seeing Samson Executive Jet Centre flourish, and Newcastle winning the Champions League [European soccer tournament].”
