Global Aviation support provider Jetex has once again been named the official handler for the Dubai Airshow. This marks the second time that Jetex has partnered with show organizer Tarsus F&E Middle East.

The company will provide full FBO and ground handling services for all private, military and commercial flights—as well as trip support, customs and immigration services, fueling, aircraft parking and coordination of aircraft display—at the biennial show.

“With over 160 aircraft expected for the static display and over 1,200 exhibitors at the Dubai Airshow 2017, it was imperative we worked with a handler that could facilitate large numbers in a tight time schedule,” said Michele van Akelijen, the show organizer’s managing director. “Jetex has proven professional, reliable and capable.”

The Jetex Dubai FBO provides more than 16,000 sq ft of dedicated passenger and crew lounge space along with 12 acres of dedicated ramp parking space. It offers 24-hour customs clearance, aircraft handling and ramp services, in addition to personalized concierge service for transportation or hotel accommodations. A 5,017-sq-m/54,000-sq-ft hangar for storage and maintenance, currently under construction, is expected to be added in 2018.

"Our expert team of ground handlers and customer service professionals is dedicated to ensuring best-in-class FBO and ground handling services for our valued clients, exhibitors and show attendees," said Jetex president and CEO Adel Nardini.
