Business Is The 14th In Its Global Network
Jet Aviation has acquired the Enterprise Jet Center FBO at Hobby
Airport in Houston, Texas, adding the 14th FBO to its global
network of premium aircraft service and support facilities. The
facility becomes the sixth Jet Aviation FBO in the U.S., including
Boston/Bedford, MA, Dallas, TX, Palm Beach, FL, St. Louis, MO, and
Teterboro, NJ.
"North America is a key market for Jet Aviation and the
acquisition of Enterprise Jet Center is an important step in our
effort to expand our aircraft-service offerings to customers in the
U.S.," said Dan Clare, Jet Aviation president.
Enterprise Jet Center opened its facility in 2006. Facility
highlights include a 10,000-square foot drive-through canopy for
aircraft, an 85,000-square foot clear-span hangar, a 30,000-square
foot maintenance-only facility that is open 24 hours per day, and a
28,500-square foot terminal/office building.
"The state-of-the-art facilities, high-end customer amenities and
service-oriented attitude make this operation a perfect fit for the
Jet Aviation family. Houston is the fifth most-active U.S. business
aviation airport and the facility now becomes Jet Aviation's second
operation in Texas, including one at Dallas Love Field," said Gary
Dempsey, president, Jet Aviation's U.S. Aircraft Services. "We
welcome the 44 employees to our organization and we're delighted to
have an additional location in the U.S. to serve our
customers."
Enterprise Jet Center also is a certified FAA Repair Station
(J89R218Y). Onsite technicians specialize in Falcons, Citations,
King Airs, Hawkers, Learjets and Beechjets. Certified technicians
perform routine aircraft servicing and major inspections and
repairs. Staff technicians have experience in all aspects of
aircraft maintenance for major corporations, individual aircraft
owners and charter operators.
