International aviation support provider Execujet has increased its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region with its acquisition of the former Universal Weather and Aviation FBO at Sydney, Australia’s Kingsford-Smith Airport. The recently renovated facility, located eight miles (12 km) from the city center, offers a passenger lounge, private meeting rooms and Customs and Immigration facilities among other services and amenities.
“We are excited to unveil the Sydney FBO, which allows us to welcome more clients to the area and opens up another great opportunity for business aviation in Australia,” said Darren McGoldrick, Execujet’s vice president for Asia-Pacific, noting that the addition will enhance his company’s existing maintenance, flight operations and administration infrastructure in Sydney. “We have wanted to incorporate an FBO into the facility for some time to meet demand and bring Execujet’s acclaimed customer service and quality to another major global destination.”

The facility, which will employ 20 staff, including ramp coordinators and customer service agents, will be the 25th FBO in the company’s network. In the region, Execujet also has facilities in Wellington, Perth and Melbourne, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary in operation this year.
