Jet Aviation has acquired the AstonSky FBO at Paris Le Bourget Airport (LFPB). The Switzerland-based business aviation services group announced the transaction today, adding the French facility to its network of 11 FBOs in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region and 30 bases worldwide.
AstonSky was opened at Le Bourget in October 2019 by France’s Clair Group, which also includes charter operator AstonJet and a private terminal at Toussus le Noble Airport (LFPN) on the southwest side of Paris. General Dynamics subsidiary Jet Aviation did not disclose how much it paid for the business.
The Le Bourget FBO provides aircraft handling services, fueling, hangarage, car parking, and support for passengers and crew. Three hangars with a total area of almost 37,700 sq ft are included at the site, as well as a terminal building with multiple lounges, crew rest areas, and offices.
“AstonSky have built a fantastic reputation for the highest standards of safety, service, and attention to detail,” said Joao Martins, Jet Aviation’s v-p for FBO operations in Europe and general manager of its Zurich facility. “Their commitment to a seamless customer experience is a fantastic complement to the promise we make across our network, and we’ll look forward to welcoming them into the Jet Aviation family and working together to build on this, and to welcome customers as their partner of choice in Paris.”
