Global aviation services provider ExecuJet has acquired its first FBO in the Caribbean, with today's announced purchase of the TLC Aviation facility at St. Maarten Princess Juliana International Airport. One of two FBOs at the popular vacation destination, the former TLC location handled 1,868 movements last year, ranging from light aircraft to widebody airliners.
“St. Maarten is the hub for the northeastern Caribbean region, with access to mainland U.S. and Europe,” said Mike Berry, president of Zurich-based ExecuJet’s aviation services, adding the area has long been on his company’s radar. “Princess Juliana International Airport serves as a key location for the neighboring islands and as such is ideally located to support the exclusive mega-yacht destinations of Anguilla, St. Barts and St. Kitts; the perfect complement to the private aviation market in the region.”
The FBO, the Luxaviation Group subsidiary’s 24th worldwide, offers ground handling, fueling, flight planning, charter, and executive transport.
