    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news EXECUJET SET FOR EXPANSION IN DUBAI AND JEDDAH News / Business aviation Image not found or type unknown ExecuJet Middle East this month marks its 16th anniversary with plans to further expand its presence here in Dubai. The company, which is part of the Swiss-based ExecuJet Aviation group, also is announcing plans to expand its operations in Saudi Arabia with a new FBO in Jeddah. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 With a main base at Dubai International Airport, for the past two years ExecuJet has also operated a temporary base at Dubai World Central, or Dubai South as the massive new airport has been rebranded. It has now secured land for a permanent facility and hopes to start construction soon with a view to opening during the first quarter of 2017. In the meantime, it may opt to take up another temporary tenancy in the airport’s general aviation terminal starting next year. “We would love to keep both bases [i.e Dubai International and Dubai South], but it has been made clear [by the Dubai authorities] that Dubai South is going to be the main long-term home for general aviation,” ExecuJet Middle East vice president Mike Berry told AIN. That said, with some low-cost carriers such as FlyDubai moving operations to Dubai South, this could temporarily relieve some capacity pressure at Dubai International. For the past 10 years, MRO has been the main focus of ExecuJet Middle East’s business plan.
