Star turn as Alpha selects Jet Aviation Basel for two VVIP completions

The aircraft will be delivered to the Basel completions centre in Switzerland before the end of the year where it will be fitted out with a design by the Basel Design Studio which will meet European Aviation Safety Agency supplemental type certificate (STC) approval on completion.

Alpha Star Aviation Services chief executive Salem Al Muzaini says: “Jet Aviation has an excellent reputation for the quality of its cabin interiors, which is backed by comprehensive capabilities and a willingness to invest in cutting edge technology. We have every confidence in their ability to fully meet our specifications.”

Alpha Star has been catering to the needs of a fast-growing Saudi customer base through its 24/7 flight operations, aircraft management, air charter, ground handling, aviation consulting, engineering, medevac

and support services through a fleet ­ranging from the ATR42/72 to the ACJ340.

It was the first business aviation company in the world to retrofit sharklet wingtips to its ACJ320 aircraft.
