Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia (JASA) is a long-standing joint venture company with Saudi Arabian partners and was the first company to set up an FBO in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its new 3,000 sq. m. (32,292 sq. ft.) facility boasts a cleverly designed passenger flow system, line and maintenance service capabilities, and enhanced service offerings, including a 24-hour shuttle service to Jeddah’s international terminal and a newspaper service with nearly 1,000 different publications.
Jet Aviation Saudi Arabia operates two FBOs in Jeddah and Riyadh since 1979 and 1983, respectively. Both facilities offer FBO services, line maintenance and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) services to private, business and military operators. The two locations each hold Saudi Arabian PCA licenses.
