ExecuJet, the ground handling arm of Luxaviation Group, has expanded its worldwide FBO network through a partnership with Jetset Bespoke Handling, a Greece-based service provider. The new alliance extends ExecuJet’s 140-location global footprint to Greece and its numerous islands.
“The strategic collaboration with Jetset strengthens our FBO network in the Mediterranean region and seamlessly blends our expertise with our partner’s local knowledge to offer high-standard services in a key European market,” explained Michel Tohane, Luxaviation’s president of group FBO services.
A famed vacation destination and expanding business environment, Greece is a growing travel hub, attracting high-net-worth individuals and economic opportunities. Jetset operates at the country’s top 20 airports, from Athens to Zakinthos.
“The addition of 20 new locations across Greece optimizes the level of flexibility for our clientele and facilitates access to locations otherwise only reachable by boat and tiring journeys,” said Luxaviation CEO Patrick Hansen. He added that the agreement “highlights our engagement to continuously provide high-quality services in locations of major importance for our passengers.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
