Jetex London Welcomes The World

The brand’s newest FBO in London is now fully operational

Located at Hangar 510 at Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB/BQH), Jetex London has commenced full commercial operations and is welcoming international private jet flyers to the UK capital.

London Biggin Hill is a private airport which caters exclusively for aircraft in business and private aviation. 2022 was the strongest year ever for the airport, with more than 26,000 movements (up from 18,900 in 2021). It is recognised as a global centre of excellence, and the second largest private jet operation in the UK, with 23% of London’s market share — after Farnborough (31%) and ahead of Luton (22%). The airport typically connects flights to more than 750 destinations across over 70 countries.

Jetex London is conveniently located just 12 miles from Canary Wharf and 15 miles from central London, with helicopter transfers taking passengers to and from the heart of the British capital in just six minutes, while limousine transfers take less than 50 minutes.

The modern airport runway (1,806 meters) allows most aircraft to operate without payload or range restrictions, including non-stop transatlantic flights.

“We are pleased with our arrival in

London,” said Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO, Jetex. “Jetex already has a strong presence in Europe with a flagship private jet terminal at Paris Le Bourget, and the new flagship Jetex London is a natural evolution of our operations. Private flyers will enjoy a seamless travel experience complemented by the greatest levels of luxury hospitality, while employing the latest technology will allow us to minimize carbon footprint.”

Jetex London offers a suite of flagship services for passengers and crews travelling through the airport. It is a seamless, intuitive, and dedicated route for Jetex customers to begin or end their journey in supreme comfort. The on-site UK Border Force and customs control will ensure that passengers and crew enjoy an efficient ground experience, while Jetex will also offer assistance with ground transport, hotel accommodation, catering, concierge services and much more.

“Over the past few years, we have seen London Biggin Hill grow and expand its infrastructure and presence in the London region and we are thrilled to be bringing the award-winning Jetex service to the UK market,” said Tom Chesney, FBO Manager, Jetex London. “With our upgraded terminal and hangar, we look forward to welcoming back our customers. Whether it is direct ramp access, quick helicopter transfers, or enjoying luxurious hospitality in one of our lounges, our team will ensure an seamless experience and set a new standard of service for the region.”

Biggin Hill’s green agenda is key to the airport’s future development, and it echoes the global sustainability commitment of Jetex. The airport has been offering sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) since April 2021 and plans to build a solar farm adjacent to the planned UAM facility.

With natural materials, soft lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows, Jetex London is designed to feel like a warm, contemporary space. The 1,900 sq.m. private terminal will include several supremely comfortable lounges of understated luxury designed with passenger privacy in mind, a cigar lounge, retail and entertainment areas, fully-equipped boardrooms, shower suites and much more. Crews will appreciate a full range of on-site recreational and flight support facilities.

Jetex London marks the company’s first entry into the UK as it looks forward to growing its operations in the market.

A curated selection of the celebrated work of renowned photographer Guy Bourdin will show at THAT Concept Store in Dubai this month. The late Bourdin’s distinct photographic style was as much experimental as it was provocative, a method partly honed under the creative guidance of surrealist photographer Man Ray. It was also a method that made for vibrant, immediately captivating images and an outstanding career that saw Bourdin credited with revolutionising fashion photography in the late 20th century.
