When it comes to flying privately, it’s not just about enjoying the aircraft ride away from the chaos of a crowded airport. It’s also about the experience before and after the flight. To give private flyers an even better flying experience, Flexjet has now opened a new private terminal in the UK.
Flexjet Introduces New Private Terminal At The UK Airport
Flexjet has opened a new private terminal at Farnborough Airport in the UK. It was built at a cost of $34 million and covers 2,098 square metres. With this launch, the company has opened its first private terminal in Europe. The new terminal is separate from Farnborough Airport’s main terminal. Flexjet staff will look after its passengers and provide them with a private and comfortable space before and after their flights.
Unlike a regular FBO lounge that allows different private and general aviation travellers, the new space is exclusively for Flexjet passengers. Get ready for an amazing private flying experience!
