ExecuJet South Africa, a subsidiary
company of ExecuJet Aviation Group, announced that they will be
taking occupation of their new facility at Cape Town International
Airport in October 2008.
Since opening its doors in 2004 at Cape Town International
Airport, ExecuJet has been aggressively developing their operations
in the Western Cape. The need for a bigger facility soon became
apparent. A R250million world-class aviation and business centre at
Cape Town International Airport is being developed by a local
businessman and ExecuJet South Africa as the anchor tenant,
obtained naming rights of the facility. Phase 1 of the ExecuJet
Business Centre is completed and the final phase is due for
completion in the early part of 2009.
This purpose built state-of-the-art FBO facility is
strategically located parallel to the main runway with 5,000 sqm of
hangar and 7,000 sqm of dedicated ramp parking, and has exclusive
access to the taxiway and runway of Cape Town International.
ExecuJet's business and general aviation services will include a
Fixed Base Operation (FBO), non-scheduled business aircraft charter
services, General Aviation aircraft maintenance services, boardroom
and secretarial services, parking facilities, concierge services
and helicopter transfers to name but a few.
"The provision of these services will be an extension of the
services already provided by ExecuJet South Africa at Lanseria
International Airport and other ExecuJet facilities in Dubai,
Sydney, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Zurich, Berlin, Copenhagen and
Monterey", says Ettore Poggi, Managing Director, ExecuJet South
Africa.
Mark Abbott, Regional Manager: Western Cape, ExecuJet South
Africa adds: "ExecuJet is an expert in flight planning and ground
handling into African destinations, making use of a wide network of
approved agents to assist in obtaining clearances, landing permits
and over flight permits. There is no other company on the continent
that can offer comparable turn-around times. ExecuJet also has
extensive experience in planning VIP, Diplomatic and Presidential
flights."
ExecuJet South Africa will also extend its AMO to this Cape
facility in order to provide maintenance services to both local and
foreign aircraft owners. ExecuJet South Africa recently received
European (EASA) maintenance approval, which means that they can
perform maintenance on European registered aircraft under the
approval of the European Aviation Authorities.
