Jet Aviation Celebrates 30 Years of Growth in Singapore

Switzerland-based Jet Aviation is celebrating 30 years of operations in Singapore, marking the anniversary of its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and fixed-base operations (FBO) facility there. Established in 1995 and officially launched at the Singapore Airshow the following year, the site was the company’s first location in Asia. It is now Jet Aviation’s largest hub in Asia-Pacific, offering maintenance, refurbishment and modification, FBO, and aircraft services.

Growing in response to changing customer needs in the region, Jet Aviation Singapore extended FBO services to Changi Airport in 2006, opened a new 5,000-sq-m maintenance hangar in 2014, and added a third 3,850-sq-m hangar in 2017. In 2023, the FBO launched onsite sustainable aviation fuel in partnership with FlyORO and, in late 2024, achieved IS-BAH Stage 3 accreditation. 

“When we first arrived in 1995, business aviation in the region was in its infancy,” said Jeremie Caillet, president. “As a key location for travel in Asia and beyond, as well as an important global hub, Singapore has continued to develop as a center for the industry in APAC. Over the decades, we have committed to growing and evolving our sites and services to support this development. This anniversary is not only a celebration of this growth and longevity, but also testament to our commitment as a trusted partner for our customers, and our local government and industry partners.”

This year, Jet Aviation Singapore became the third Jet Aviation site to join the Airbus Corporate Jets Service Center Network, and it is the only Service Center Network member in Asia-Pacific. The site also underwent a renovation, including interior upgrades in the reception and crew lounges, plus 15 new customer offices and meeting rooms.

“In the past three decades, we have grown to become a leading provider of MRO and FBO services in APAC, and none of this would have been possible without the passion and dedication of our employees,” said Louis Leong, vice president of MRO operations Asia. “We have a team of some 300 in Singapore, supported by their colleagues and peers across the region, who all truly embody the spirit of being the effort behind effortless.”

Jet Aviation is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics with more than 4,500 employees and 50 locations worldwide. In August, the company announced its acquisition of AstonSky FBO at Paris Le Bourget Airport (LFPB), and in October reported expanding its U.S. staffing service and adding 22 jets to the fleet.
