Jet Aviation Offers Global Support to U.S. N-registered Aircraft Based in the EMEA & Asia Region

Zurich / Switzerland, October 13, 2011 – Jet Aviation Van Nuys, together with Jet Aviation’s EMEA & Asia aircraft management and charter team, offers specialized global support for U.S. N-registered aircraft based in the EMEA & Asia region.

Jet Aviation’s new Van Nuys aircraft management and charter operation is working with its Jet Aviation counterparts in Europe, the Middle East and Asia to provide aircraft management services to aircraft operated under U.S. N-registrations (parts 91 and 135) based in these regions.

“Jet Aviation currently manages a fleet of more than 200 corporate and private jets worldwide,” said Gary Dempsey, president, U.S. Aircraft Services. “Our global network provides the expertise, experience and excellence required to optimally manage U.S. N-registered aircraft based in EMEA & Asia.”

The Van Nuys operation offers specialized management and charter services in support of U.S. aircraft based in Asia and the EMEA region. In partnership with other Jet Aviation locations, Jet Aviation Van Nuys provides 24/7 in-house international and domestic flight planning and scheduling, flight crew staffing, line operations and maintenance services as well as insurance, accounting and administrative services throughout the various time zones. Savings that the company generates through global volume purchases on fuel, insurance, training and other operating expenses are passed on to clients to provide comprehensive services at exceptional value.

Aircraft owners under U.S. N-registration based in the EMEA & Asia region can also have their aircraft operated under Jet Aviation’s U.S. AOC Certificate, earning them income on their assets while reducing fixed expenses. Charter hours for these aircraft would be generated through Jet Aviation’s charter sales offices in Hong Kong, Zurich, Van Nuys and Teterboro.
