Jetex Private Terminal Launch

We started Dubai Airshow 2017 in style on Sunday, with the official launch of a brand-new private terminal at our flagship facility in Dubai. Guests took great delight in exploring our incredible new lounge space, which brings a fresh flavor to the region’s business aviation offerings and places the Jetex FBO Terminal firmly in a league of its own. Read on to find out more!


Welcome to a Luxurious World of Tranquility

The eagerly-awaited launch drew large crowds from Dubai Airshow and beyond, who flocked to witness the unveiling of our latest innovative FBO (Fixed-base Operator) concept. Guests were treated to a VIP arrival, with our fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms providing a smooth and comfortable ride from the nearby airshow site. Attendees enjoyed an exclusive “orange carpet” experience as they were escorted from their vehicles for a photo opportunity, followed by our trademark warm welcome to the luxurious main lounge.

Visitors experienced a taste of the impeccable hospitality for which we have become renowned, with delicious mocktails and canapés served throughout the event by our friendly and attentive staff. Delegates from the airshow mingled and discussed the day’s happenings as they took in the lavish surroundings. Outside, a high-octane collection of rare vintage cars and custom motorcycles lined the valet entrance, creating a fascinating display which curious visitors lingered to admire in the pleasant November sunshine.

Chilled lounge beats from local talent DJ Lins set the tone for the afternoon, progressing to more upfront house sounds as the sun slowly dipped beneath the horizon (inspiring a small, but enthusiastic, gathering of dancers near the front entrance). The Jetex photo booth also proved a popular attraction, with groups of guests lining up to pose for a fun memento of the event.

In total, more than three hundred visitors experienced our new FBO lounge. All were left visibly impressed by what they discovered inside. Our team had a fantastic time showcasing the jewel in the crown of our global network. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated, you made it such a special occasion and we hope to see you all again soon!


Inspired by Nature, Inspiring by Nature

The new lounge is the second space dedicated exclusively to VIP guests at our award-winning Dubai facility. Covering an area of 600 square meters, it joins the original lounge to offer more than 1,500 square meters of refined elegance, making the Jetex FBO Terminal one of the largest facilities of its kind worldwide.

Inspired by patterns and textures found in nature, the interior presents a striking contrast to the bright, modern lines which characterize the other areas of the terminal. Cutting-edge biophilic design principles are employed to create a tranquil, invitingly organic environment, which was deservedly nominated in the “Interior Design of the Year – Public Sector” category at the 2017 Commercial Interior Design Awards.

Three tall, freestanding wooden structures serve as inviting cocoons, where travelers can recline and feel their cares melt away. Each represents a triumph of bespoke craftsmanship, outstandingly finished with smooth stone-hued leather. Minimalist indoor landscaping and natural lighting complete the aesthetic, with flower beds, trees and pebble-shaped furnishings combining to evoke a delightful ambiance reminiscent of a Japanese Zen garden.

Several touches bring a playful sense of adventure to the space, from the creative layout to the plush swing in the center, complete with a Fender acoustic guitar for those who feel inclined to have a strum. Our new lounge offers a unique passenger experience, encouraging exploration in a warm and inviting space. The serene atmosphere serves to calm and inspire guests ahead of their journey, enabling all who pass through to relax and take greater pleasure in their travels.

All of us at Jetex are delighted with the latest addition to our award-winning FBO terminal, and encourage you to come and see our beautiful new lounge for yourself. Just don’t make too many important plans for later in the day, as you might not want to leave!


Celebrating Our Success

The Jetex FBO Terminal in Dubai was officially launched to great fanfare last December during MEBAA Show 2016, and has quickly established itself as a benchmark for excellence in luxury aviation. The launch of the second lounge caps a tremendously successful year for our flagship facility.

Traffic continues to increase steadily at the terminal, and this week we will once again serve as the official FBO of Dubai Airshow. Our team are providing full FBO and ground handling services for all flights during the show, in addition to delivering first-class trip support for passengers and crew, customs and immigration services, fueling, aircraft parking, and coordination of the display areas.
