Flexjet, the global leader in luxury private aviation, recently opened its new private terminal at the UK’s Farnborough Airport, creating significant benefits for Flexjet aircraft Owners and guests, as well as marking a major milestone in its global expansion.
Costing $34 million, the expansive 2,098m2 Flexjet terminal is the first of its kind in Europe and situated at Farnborough Airport – the primary private aviation gateway for London and Europe’s leading airport for premium air travel connectivity.
Situated in a new ramp side building, separate to the airport’s existing main terminal, the facility is hosted by Flexjet staff and provides seamless ground-to-air private hospitality exclusively for Flexjet passengers, before or after boarding one of the company’s ultramodern fleet of 350+ private jets and helicopters. This offers a more personal ‘home from home’ environment for Flexjet’s aircraft Owners compared to traditional FBO (Fixed Based Operator) terminal or lounge services at airports, which are open to all private or general aviation flyers.
The new opening adds to Flexjet’s growing network of nine private terminals in the United States already established or under development. With Farnborough serving London and an established Flexjet terminal at Teterboro Airport - the busiest for private aviation globally serving New York City - Flexjet aircraft owners now benefit from private gateways to the world’s biggest financial capitals. In addition to its terminals, Flexjet’s global infrastructure includes operations, sales and maintenance across more than 25 locations.
Two years on from the start of construction, the Farnborough terminal opening was marked by a ceremonial event for VIP guests and stakeholders hosted by Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci, who said: “This opening establishes one of the most significant branded luxury environments in private aviation and is a defining moment in Flexjet’s global expansion. It is our most ambitious infrastructure completion to date, beyond our North American headquarters.
“A Flexjet flight is already an unrivalled experience, with world-class aircraft, truly artisan interiors and five-star cabin hospitality that raise the bar in our industry. But this remarkable facility is a testament to how aircraft ownership with Flexjet extends far beyond the cabin, unlocking a lifestyle defined by exceptional convenience, effortless access and enriching experiences the world over.”
