Jetex movements up 150% in second half of 2020

摘要

Dubai-based international FBO operator Jetex saw business grow 150 percent at its business aircraft terminal at Dubai South in the second half of 2020 and hopes to launch three new facilities in the Asia-Pacific region in the next 18 months. "Business is growing; due to COVID, people [are looking] to private aviation," Jetex founder and CEO Adel Mardini told AIN. "It's a solution. Private aviation used to be an accessory. Now, it's a necessity." Mardini said on some days, Jetex has had 80 to 90 daily movements with an average of five passengers per aircraft. On January 10, for example, Jetex handled 85 nights. "Usually, we do 25 to 30," he said. "I expect in December 2021 to have more than 1,200 flights, which is good business."
