Samson Executive Jet Centre, Newcastle International Airport’s exclusive private jet facility, has joined forces with Luxaviation, one of the world’s leading global aviation service providers.
Luxaviation, headquartered in Luxembourg, manage and charter one of the largest fleets of private jets in the world and operates a global network of private aviation terminals, under the brand ExecuJet.
As a result of the partnership, the North East based private aviation terminal will be added to ExecuJet’s worldwide network of over 100 locations, from Sydney to Dubai and Saint Maarten to Cape Town.
Through ExecuJet’s network, global trade show attendance and purchasing power, Samson Executive Jet Centre and the North East region will be promoted as a top-tier location for international visitors, whether for business or leisure.
County Durham born, Gary Forster from Luxaviation, who brought the idea to the Airport said: “I am proud to be from the area and having worked all over the world for Luxaviation I have always monitored Newcastle International Airport and would like nothing better than seeing Samson Executive Jet Centre flourish, and Newcastle winning the Champions League!”
Gary is currently Managing Director for the Caribbean, based in Saint Maarten but also has added responsibility as Group FBO Airport Services Manager which includes working alongside facilities such as Samson Executive Jet Centre to develop the business.
Keith Faley, Director of Operations at Newcastle International Airport said: “I firmly believe this is great news for Samson Executive Jet Centre, the Airport itself and the region in general. The Samson team are experts in their field and having the opportunity to work with such a global brand will put us firmly on the map for business aviation.”
