History
[edit].jpg?lang=en)
ExecuJet started operations as a maintenance provider at Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1991. The facility was appointed in 1993 as a Major Service Centre by Honeywell (formerly Allied Signal) and a Learjet Authorised Service Facility by Bombardier.
In 1994, the firm extended its offering by including services, deployed in concert with a Bombardier Business Aircraft sales franchise. In 1995, the firm became a Canadair-authorized service facility. In 1997, it opened in Denmark as ExecuJet Scandinavia.
In 1999, the company established operations in the Middle East, with a base in Dubai, and the Bombardier sales franchise expanded to 10 Middle Eastern countries.[citation needed]
ExecuJet Australia was founded in 2000[1] and awarded dealership rights for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific. It included an aircraft management and maintenance center at Sydney Airport. The facility was also appointed as Bombardier Authorised Service Facility and Gulfstream authorized warranty repair facility.
ExecuJet expanded its European operations in 2001 with an aircraft management business, a Fixed Base Operation (FBO) and its offices in Zurich became the headquarters for ExecuJet. Bombardier adds Switzerland to ExecuJet's business aircraft dealership.
In 2002, ExecuJet expanded its services into Latin America with operations at two Mexican Airports in Monterrey and an extended facility at Lanseria.
In 2008, ExecuJet acquired a hangar at Singapore's Seletar Airport, where it still oversees maintenance activities. The firm was also granted an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) for the United Kingdom. Representative offices were opened in Mumbai, Beijing, and Moscow.[citation needed]
In 2009, ExecuJet South Africa occupied a new FBO facility in Cape Town[1] in anticipation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The wider firm was restructured around an OEM-independent business model. Later that year, ExecuJet Malaysia opened a maintenance base in Kuala Lumpur.
The company's operations in Australasia expanded in 2013, with the establishment of maintenance facilities in Perth.
In 2015, ExecuJet was acquired by the Luxaviation Group. Luxaviation is headquartered in Luxembourg, and with ExecuJet has a combined staff of 1,500 and a fleet of over 250 business jets. ExecuJet began operations in Bali in the same year. The acquisition of ExecuJet by the Luxaviation Group started the process of centralizing certain operational services in a shared services structure based in Cambridge.[citation needed]
In 2019, Luxaviation sold ExecuJet's Aircraft Maintenance business to Dassault Aviation and closed their FBO location at Cambridge City Airport, relocating all ExecuJet UK offices and employees to a new facility in Newmarket, Suffolk.
ExecuJet partnered with French airport management company EDEIS in 2021, to support European business aviation ground handling.[1]
In 2024, the company launched its first fully electric ground handling fleet at Paris Le Bourget airport. This forms part of ExecuJet's target to achieve 100% electrification of its FBOs by 2030.[1]
In December of the same year, ExecuJet opened a flagship, 15,000 square meter private jet facility at the Mohammad bin Rashid Aerospace Hub in Dubai South. Also in December 2024, the company expanded into Greece, in partnership with the JetSet FBO Network.[1]
