Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport has received a second FBO with the opening of the new M Jet facility. Built at a cost of more than $3 million, the facility includes a 3,200-sq-ft terminal with a passenger lounge, crew suite with private shower facilities and kitchenette, 12-seat conference room, business center, refreshments, concierge, and pet relief area. It also has an in-house customs and immigration facility, which is normally open daily from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. local time with after-hours available on appointment, while the FBO itself is staffed 24/7. Aircraft disinfection services are also available.

While the FBO already has a 10,000-sq-ft hurricane-resistant hangar that is capable of sheltering aircraft up to a Dassault Falcon 7X, the company is in the process of building another 26,000-sq-ft hangar that will be able to simultaneously accommodate two BBJs. It is also working to nearly triple the size of its 35,000-sq-ft private ramp. Fuel is provided by SOL, but the company offers many well-known contract fuel programs.

"We are the premier FBO and private aviation service provider in Barbados and pride ourselves on providing our customers with an unmatched experience on their journeys whether it be for business or for pleasure,” said concierge manager Jennifer Hoad. “We aim to be seen as an industry leader, constantly exceeding the expectations of our guests."
