Dassault Aviation and Unijet, two companies that have a long history at Paris Le Bourget, have been selected to operate from the new terminal at the dedicated business airport. More activity is planned on the airport, as Dubai-based JetEx Flight Support will operate a VIP FBO at the main terminal at the site’s entrance. It is the first Middle East aviation company to establish permanent operations in Europe.
The new terminal, the latest element in the airport’s 20-year renewal and expansion plan, is a former maintenance facility that has been completely renovated and refurbished to the tune of $8.5 million. Le Bourget charter operator Unijet and Dassault Aviation will share the terminal, known as K1, equally, with each company occupying 44,789 sq ft of hangar space and 5,565 sq ft of adjoining office accommodation. Another 26,910 sq ft of office space will be available for third parties next year.
