NetJets has opened a “Service Hub” at the London-area Farnborough Airport to bolster its operational infrastructure in Europe and reduce the need for maintenance positioning flights. The fractional ownership and charter flight provider said the investment will provide stronger support for its growing fleet of business aircraft in the region.
Announced today, the Service Hub is one of several in Europe and has been operational since June 2, with its primary role being to support line maintenance and respond to AOG situations. The NetJets team at Farnborough handles preventative maintenance on its fleet, as well as minor repairs and cabin interior enhancements.
Located in Hangar 2 (Bay 6) at Farnborough Airport, a dedicated business aviation gateway, the facility can accommodate up to 10 aircraft at a time. It also features a dedicated ramp area and a restocking locker for catering items and parts. The NetJets team on site uses electric ground power units, electric tugs, and silenced hangar doors to minimize the environmental impact of operations.
“This facility represents a major step forward in our ability to deliver proactive, high-quality maintenance at scale,” said NetJets executive director for service Myra Perez. “It allows us to keep our aircraft in peak condition, mitigate operational disruptions, and ensure our owners enjoy the highest standards of safety and comfort.”
