Jet Aviation’s new FBO in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is open and features an  innovative passenger flow system so arrivals and departures are  conducted in separate channels to speed up throughput. The 106,000-sq-ft  building provides more space than its predecessor while still offering  direct ramp access. The new ramp enclave includes an area for storing  ground equipment and providing line maintenance, and the FBO offers a  new washing bay. Jet Aviation also operates an FBO in Riyadh, where  there are plans for a new airport, and discussions are under way about  the possible construction of a new FBO that could open in 2015. Early  designs show that the facility could feature air bridges to take into  account the increasingly large private aircraft using the airport.
