/
World Fuel Services announced today that it has added four new FBOs to their growing Air Elite® Network. YU Lounge, located at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (TKPK) in Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis; Jet Centre Curacao, located at Hato International Airport (TNCC) in Willemstad, Curacao and Ecuacentair, located at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQM) in Quito, Equador have signed with the network.
Operated by Leeward Flight Services Limited, YU Lounge officially signed with the Air Elite Network in December, 2014 at the Middle East Business Aviation exhibition in Dubai. YU Lounge’s private airport terminal features a luxurious lounge and first-rate services for passengers and crew. Beyond the standard FBO/Flight Handling services such as fuel and ground handling, YU Lounge offers travelers a unique personal concierge experience from the moment they step off of their aircraft.
“YU Lounge has been eager to join the Air Elite Network as the service and facility standards and commitment to raising the service bar for operators is in perfect alignment with the YU Lounge customer service philosophy. We look forward to growing globally with the Air Elite Network” said Desigen Vythilingum, Deputy General Manager of Leeward Flight Services.
Jet Centre Curacao recently started operations in January, 2015 and is Hato International Airport’s first private terminal dedicated to serving business & general aviation customers with a luxurious experience. The FBO offers a wide range of services including on-site customs & immigration services, security, food & beverage, and meeting room facilities. The airport currently receives approximately 3,300 private aircraft arrivals per year, and that number continues to grow.
"Jet Centre Curacao is very excited to be one of the newest members of the Air Elite Network along with the other quality FBOs who have recently joined the network. We look forward to the increased industry marketing presence at shows, while partnering Jet Centre Curacao with the strength and reputation of the Air Elite brand" said Ralph Blanchard, CEO of Curacao Aviation Partners.
Ecuacentair, an Ascent branded FBO, operates a modern, attractive facility within the General Aviation Building at Mariscal Sucre International Airport. The facility was built in 2013 and is staffed by an experienced aviation services team that works closely with the aviation community in Quito to provide guests a positive experience when visiting the local area. With full passenger/crew amenities and aircraft support, Ecuacentair is a trusted partner on the ground in Ecuador for comfort, ground handling coordination and fuel coordination.
“Ecuacentair’s experienced team strives to provide our customers a best-in-class FBO experience when visiting Quito by anticipating and meeting our customers’ needs. We are grateful to be given the opportunity to be one of the first Air Elite FBOs in the Latin American market and we are excited to grow with the network in the future” said Silvio Tano, FBO Director of Ecuacentair.
