ExecuJet has signed an agreement with Air Seychelles to manage the FBO at Seychelles International Airport (FSIA). Operating under the name Air Seychelles VIP, it is the only full-service FBO in the Indian Ocean island nation.
The facility offers a terminal with four private passenger lounges, onsite customs and immigration services, showers, refreshments, and concierge service. Air Seychelles VIP also provides chauffeured luxury vehicle airside transfers to and from the aircraft and airline terminals.
Air Seychelles is the country’s national carrier and is owned entirely by the Seychelles government. In addition to owning the FBO, it also operates a fleet of Airbus A320neos for international travel along with de Havilland Twin Otters for domestic service. Additionally, it provides ground handling for commercial and private airlines at its FSIA base.
“We are thrilled to partner with ExecuJet to bring world-class FBO services to our VIP clientele,” said Air Seychelles CEO Sandy Benoiton. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences and reinforces our position as a leading carrier in the region.”
ExecuJet has more than 40 FBOs globally following its recent purchase of Sky Valet and manages a network that includes some 140 locations after its acquisition of the Paragon Aviation Group.
