ExecuJet, the global ground handling arm of Luxaviation Group, recently received honors for its Africa division. At the 2023 South Africa Civil Aviation Awards presentation, the company earned top rank in the categories of aviation innovation, people development, aviation security, and aviation customer service. It was also named first runner-up in the aircraft operator segment, one in which it competed against all operators, including scheduled airlines.
The awards, established by the South African Civil Aviation Authority in 2018, recognize aviation entities operating in the country for their excellence. ExecuJet Africa—which offers a wide variety of aviation services including aircraft charter, sales, management, and insurance, along with FBO operations, tours, and air cargo—earned top honors in aviation customer services and people development in that inaugural edition, along with first runner-up in Aviation Support Services.
The following year it received first runner-up in the aircraft operator category and second runner-up in people development. The awards resumed for 2023 following a three-year hiatus due largely to the Covid pandemic.
“We are extremely proud to see that the work our teams are doing is being recognized and rewarded,” said Luxaviation CEO Patrick Hansen. “These accolades are a testament to the innovation, dedication, and continuous pursuit of excellence for which ExecuJet and the Luxaviation Group strive, always with our customers as our first priority.”
