Sky Valet Connect has added a major destination to its network of European FBOs with the addition of Advanced Air Support at Paris–Le Bourget Airport (LFPB).
According to the company, a subsidiary of Groupe Europe Handling, it serves approximately 15% of the traffic at the bustling business aviation hub and offers a full slate of amenities, including VIP and crew lounges, snooze rooms, private storage units for operators, concierge, ground transfers, and luggage handling. With 16,700 sq m (180,000 sq ft) of hangar space, Advanced Air Support can accommodate up to airliner-class jets.
The facility can also assist with overflight, landing, and takeoff permit authorizations, as well as other approvals. Its addition brings Sky Valet Connect to 43 locations in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus, and Greece.
“Advanced Air Support has a unique feature that is highly relevant to our business model,” said Jean-François Guitard, director of the general aviation and external development business unit for Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur, which founded the network six years ago. He added that the FBO manages a large fleet of equipment at LFPB. “Its location at Paris–Le Bourget is a major asset for our network, whose franchisees have been asking for a base at Europe’s leading business aviation airport.”
