Enterprise Jet Center is one of the largest and most modern FBOs, or “fixed-base operators,” at Houston Hobby Airport, providing fuel, catering, aircraft cleaning and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to
private aircraft. The facility becomes the sixth Jet Aviation FBO in the US including Boston/Bedford, Mass.; Dallas, Texas; Palm Beach, Fla.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Teterboro, New Jersey.
“North America is a key market for Jet Aviation and the acquisition of Enterprise Jet Center is an important step in our effort to expand our aircraft-service offerings to customers in the US,” said Jet Aviation President Dan Clare.
Enterprise Jet Center opened its facility in 2006. Facility highlights include a 10,000-square foot drive-through canopy for aircraft, an 85,000-square foot clear-span hangar, a 30,000-square foot maintenance-only facility that is open 24 hours per day, and a 28,500-square foot terminal/office building.
“The state-of-the-art facilities, high-end customer amenities and service-oriented attitude make this operation a perfect fit for the Jet Aviation family. Houston is the fifth most active US business aviation airport and the facility now becomes Jet Aviation’s second operation in Texas, including one at Dallas Love Field,” said Gary Dempsey, president, Jet Aviation’s US Aircraft Services.
“We welcome the 44 employees to our organization and we’re delighted to have an additional location in the US to serve our customers.”
