Luxaviation Group has reached a significant milestone in its quest for FBO industry dominance with the acquisition of Sky Valet, further enhancing its ExecuJet FBO network to encompass an impressive 141 FBOs worldwide. This strategic move follows Luxaviation’s earlier acquisition of the Paragon Network, reflecting its unwavering commitment to elevating client service standards and expanding its geographical presence.
Michel Tohane, President of the FBO division at Luxaviation Group, will lead the integration of Sky Valet into the Luxaviation fold, focusing on integrating the expertise of 90 new colleagues. With firsthand experience as the former Executive Vice President of Sky Valet, Michel brings valuable insight to this transition. He remarks, “Being one of the global leaders in the FBO industry provides us today not only with the opportunity to further grow regionally but also to push the green agenda of the group and of business aviation as an industry.”
Luxaviation’s dedication to sustainable aviation practices is exemplified by its recent provision of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at its Paris Le Bourget FBO. Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, views the Sky Valet acquisition as a pivotal moment in the company’s expansion strategy, emphasizing a renewed focus on service quality and operational excellence post-Covid.
Luxaviation’s reputation for excellence in customer service is underscored by international recognition and awards, positioning ExecuJet as the most admired FBO chain in terms of customer service, according to a recent industry survey. This network expansion not only reaffirms Luxaviation’s commitment to sustainability but also strengthens its capacity to negotiate and implement SAF procurement across its global network.
