Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC), the specialist in Airbus Corporate Jet VIP cabin completion and customised nose-to-tail services, is expanding its Services Sales team to meet the growing needs of its customers.

Jérôme Ferasin is appointed Head of Services Sales. He was previously Sales Director within Airbus’ Flight Hour Services Department for four years, in charge of governmental and corporate support contracts worldwide. Jérôme is currently responsible for the VIP Pass offerings for Eastern Europe, South Asia, Africa and Australia.

Nathalie Texier is appointed Sales Director, in charge of boosting services business in Western Europe, Oman, Bahrain, India and central and South America. She has served in the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre for five years and previously managed the Sales team within Sogerma Toulouse. She is currently responsible for developing ACJC’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) offerings.

Samuel Puginier is nominated Sales Director, in charge of boosting ACJC’s services business in the Middle-East (except Oman and Bahrain), China and North America. Previously Sales & Contracts Manager for the outfitting activity within ACJC for five years, Samuel is currently in charge of developing the company’s connectivity offerings.

The team has also welcomed Olga Bertrand as Contract Administration Manager. With experience as a Business Development Engineer in Ukraine and France, Olga is in charge of the VIP Pass and Services agreements follow-up and administration, including commercial relationship management.

“We have always been focussed on responding to the growing needs of our ACJ Customers in support and services, and reinforcing our team with experienced and cosmopolitan profiles will help us to go on doing that”, says Bruno Galzin, Head of ACJC’s Sales and Marketing team.

“Airbus Corporate Jet Centre paved the way in 2009 with the launch of the VIP Pass package. “ACJC has already signed several VIP Pass contracts, and our new team will continue developing this customised offer - unique on the MRO market – for the needs of the ACJ customer community,” he adds.

VIP PASS

Airbus Corporate Jet Centre’s VIP Pass is a suite of seven customizable services, covering scheduled and unscheduled maintenance in a single package. With ACJC’s VIP Pass, ACJ operators can tailor their own package, reflecting their support strategy, around the following services:

  • System upgrade and cabin refurbishment
  • Airframe maintenance
  • Engine and nacelle full support
  • Spares management (pool & repair)
  • Airworthiness & maintenance engineering services (CAMO)
  • Entry Into Service & On-Site assistance
  • Access to aircraft manufacturer service

Airbus Corporate Jet Centre

Dedicated to providing quality cabin-outfitting and innovative packages of customised nose-to-tail services for Airbus ACJ family aircraft, the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) is small enough to provide personal service to customers, with around 270 employees, but is also backed by the full resources of its shareholder, Airbus, the world's largest manufacturer of modern airliners.

Based in Toulouse, France, ACJC has already contracted with prestigious customers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It attributes its success to a strong technical background, plus highly skilled employees that have now completed thirteen ACJ cabins. Including former EADS Sogerma deliveries, Airbus Corporate Jet Centre is now the world leader for ACJ319/ACJ320 VIP cabin completion having delivered 24 VIP cabins for Airbus aircraft.

The Airbus Corporate Jet Centre also specialises in tailor-made services and maintenance for ACJs, including the A320, A330 and A340 families. Increasing its teams and the capacity of its facilities, in 2009 the company launched VIP Pass, a package of nose-to-tail services developed for executive and private operators of Airbus corporate jets.
