The entire facility comprises an area of 130,000 sq. ft. including a state-of-the-art hangar and FBO / VIP Lounge facility. This incorporates an extensive range of services including fuelling, ground handling and customs clearance. The new facility allows the most demanding VIP passengers to feel at home in a very comfortable and luxurious environment.
