The magazine’s aircraft owner readers, voting online and via a printed questionnaire, put Al Bateen’s DhabiJet FBO at number four, making it the highest ranked FBO in the Middle East - one of just two FBOs in the Middle East to make the top 20 and ahead of many bigger long established international brands.  

“Abu Dhabi Airports Company is proud that DhabiJet, within its first year of operation, has entered the premier league of FBO operators.  This is a ringing endorsement for the commitment the FBO team has made to enhance its services and facilities for flight crew,” said H.E. Khalifa Al Mazrouei, chairman of ADAC.  

Every EBAN reader of qualified aircraft operators has the opportunity to vote for their favorite FBOs from March 2011 to January 2012 and award them points for their facilities, services, staff and value for money.  Each reader is provided with a personalized web page.  Alternatively, they can cast votes via survey forms included in the magazine from September. The magazine asks for a score out of nine from each of four categories to determine the average.    

“Congratulations to Al Bateen Executive and DhabiJet which has gone straight in to our top five best FBOs at No 4,” said EBAN publisher David Wright. " It is especially pleasing to see some of the recently established FBOs being recognized for their quality of service by our readers in this, our 20th year of running this popular survey.  Good infrastructure, meeting customers’ needs and providing highly trained and motivated people are the key attributes of our top FBOs.”
