ExecuJet France, a subsidiary of Luxembourg-based Luxaviation Group, has completed the conversion of its FBO at Paris Le Bourget Airport (LFPB) to all-electric ground service equipment (GSE). The achievement makes the location the first ExecuJet FBO in Europe to make the conversion, which is a companywide goal by 2030.
At the Le Bourget facility, the list of electrified GSE includes ground power units, tow tugs, air stairs, luggage truck, lavatory service vehicle, and potable water truck.
It follows in the footsteps of the chain’s Australasia locations in Auckland, Sydney, and Melbourne, which have already made the switch from petroleum-fueled equipment. ExecuJet said it has reached nearly 60 percent of its goal across the company's network of 22 FBOs.
“We are very happy to have achieved this milestone, which contributes to our mission to provide outstanding and more sustainable business air travel experiences by fully electrifying our FBOs by 2030,” said Luxaviation Group CEO Patrick Hansen.
