Jet Aviation Basel expands Completions production capacity to meet demand

Jet Aviation Basel has recently signed an agreement with Basel Euroairport authorities to expand its Completions production capacity to meet rising demand for services.

Jet Aviation Basel is expanding its production operation within its Completions Center where the company produces industry-renowned furniture aircraft interior components and integrated systems for corporate and VIP aircraft interiors. The expansion includes establishing an additional 3,700 square meter facility dedicated to finishing and integration activities as well as increasing manufacturing capacity within its current Cabinet shop. Plans also include investments in equipment, such as CNC machines to support cabinet building and glue, spray and paint facilities to support finishing operations.  The expansion will be completed in Q1 2016.

“This production expansion builds upon our well-developed in-house capabilities and provides the added capacity required to continue delivering the highest quality products with the shortest lead times to our customers,” says Neil Snowdon, senior director of Production at the Jet Aviation Basel Completions Center. “It is an exciting project that underscores our long-term commitment to meeting our customers’ requirements with in-house expertise.”

Basel Completions Center Senior Vice President Neil Boyle adds, “The prospect of available and extremely suitable expansion space at Basel Euroairport was in line with our long-term growth objectives and opportune. We are pleased to invest in this additional production capacity to uphold our tradition of executing all elements of a bespoke interior in-house, where we are better able to monitor and control the quality of production and craftsmanship.”
