Jet Aviation signs exclusive maintenance deal with Vienna-based Art Aviation

Jet Aviation has been named as the exclusive maintenance provider for Art Aviation’s fleet of large-cabin business jets based in Vienna, Austria.

The company’s fleet includes two Bombardier Global XRS, two Global 6000s, a Boeing BBJ1, a Dassault Falcon 900Ex and a Falcon 7X.

Jet Aviation will provide scheduled maintenance from its facilities in Basel or Geneva and line maintenance from its Moscow Vnukovo facility.

Tim Hurworth, a former director of Ocean Sky and managing director of Art Aviation, said: “It is important that we have been able to affiliate ourselves with Jet Aviation, who has the experience and capability to serve all of our aircraft types.

“Art Aviation’s goal is to offer a fully integrated service that is focused on the quality and safety of its flight operations with the preservation of asset value under management,” he added. “With the established Line Maintenance support offered in Moscow, Jet Aviation has the proven ability to ensure Art Aviation keeps its aircraft operational.”

Jet Aviation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, already has an ongoing agreement with Bombardier to maintain an inventory of critical spare parts at its Moscow facility to support Bombardier owners and operators in Russia.

Stefan Benz, vice president of Jet Aviation’s MRO and FBO operations, EMEA and Asia, said: “Our teams of highly-trained professionals are fully committed to meeting the highest safety and quality standards. Jet Aviation has also invested in long-standing relationships with the various OEMs to facilitate our ongoing training with new technologies, as well as ready access to parts.”
