Euro Jet Celebrates 10 Years at NBAA-BACE

Euro Jet, the Prague based provider of ground handling support services throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia, is proud to be continuing its 10th Anniversary year-long celebration by exhibiting at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (BACE) this October 16-18, 2018 in Orlando, Florida.

Euro Jet’s exhibit space in the Avinode Booth will include a visual presentation of photos from its crew lounges located throughout its core region of Eastern Europe.

This year the company has opened up three new facilities in Sofia, Warsaw, Belgrade and also moved its Zagreb lounge to the new General Aviation Terminal. These are all complimentary spaces, where the use of the space is not an additional charge for the customer.

In July, Euro Jet officially opened-up a brand crew facility at Sofia International Airport in Bulgaria. The Euro Jet facility is located in the remotely located Ramp Control Building. This area is conveniently situated right next to the General Aviation parking positions. This is the only VIP facility in this building and is exclusively for Euro Jet supported flights. Euro Jet also has a brand-new Mercedes Viano on the Sofia ramp. This enables crew and passengers to have fast access between the main terminal, our facility, and their aircraft.

This August also saw the opening of a Euro Jet lounge at Warsaw’s Frederic Chopin Airport in the General Aviation Terminal. According to our Poland Country Manager, Marcin Zak,“This is the only lounge located on the street side of the airport. Crews will be able to get their work down in our lounge, have a drink and snack, print out their paperwork, and then proceed just a few steps to their parked aircraft.”

At Zagreb’s Franjo Tuđman Airport, Euro Jet has moved its lounge to the new General Aviation Terminal where it officially opened last Spring. Located in the Southwest corner of the old Main Terminal building, the General Aviation Terminal allows for those flying in on their aircraft to have their own private area to arrive and depart the airport, whereas before they had to use the same area as those flying regular commercial flights.

Last Spring at Belgrade’s Nikola Telsa Airport, Euro Jet opened up an office located in a containerized facility right off the General Aviation parking area. This is the only facility of its kind on the ramp that allows Euro Jet customers to get some work done or take a break from the flying.

According to Euro Jet country manager Strahinja Djordjevic, “Our customers can now walk just 50 meters from the aircraft to our office. No other provider at Belgrade Airport can provide this convenience. We now also have the ability to print out paperwork right in our office and walk it over to the aircraft, whereas others still have to get everything from the main terminal and bring it over. This has certainly led us being able to get things done much faster.”

Similar to all of the Euro Jet facilities, the Sofia, Warsaw, Zagreb, and Belgrade offices and lounges have both a work station for crew members to get some work done and then couches for them to relax. The facilities all include Wi-Fi, computer, printer, and complimentary, snacks and beverages. The facilities in Zagreb and Sofia also have flat screen televisions. Euro Jet also has similar facilities located in Prague, Karlovy Vary, Dubrovnik, Tivat, Bucharest, Constanta and Poprad.

According to Euro Jet CEO Charlie Bodnar, “Euro Jet never stops investing in our customers. When we see that there is a need for a proper lounge and office space that our customers can utilize to either take a break from a long flight or plan their next one, then we are doing whatever we can to open one in that location. We never stop working for our customers, and will continue to open up more lounges in the future.”
