Airport hub for corporate jets

By SOMAN BABY

TRANSPORTATION Minister Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa is to open the BD750,000 Bahrain Executive Air Services Company (Bexair) terminal at Bahrain International Airport today.

It will mark the launch of Bexair's executive aviation corporate jet services in the Gulf region.

The VIP terminal, designed by Mohammed Salahuddin Consulting Engineering Bureau and built by Chapo, is a small part of the $85 million (BD32.13m) investment envisaged for Bexair.

The Executive Aviation Terminal and Fixed Base Operations (FBO) facility has been built at a cost of BD750,000 and is part of the first phase of preparations for Bexair operations.

The terminal facilities include VIP lounges, meeting rooms and other FBO services as well as customs, security and immigration clearance facilities.

Bexair is a Bahrain registered company promoted by the Saudi-based Arabian Support and Services Company (ASASCO).

The operations will focus on providing VIP charter operations, aircraft management and related services.

Two types of aircraft, Cessna Citation Excel and Bombardier Challenger- 604 will be used for the initial operations.

"After extensive research, the company has selected Bahrain International Airport as the base for its operations. given the country's unique geographical location," said chairman and chief executive officer Mansour Al Tassan.

"Moreover, Bahrain is a financial centre and has a healthy and fast-growing corporate and multi-national sector.

"We are confident that this service will benefit busy executives because it gives them great flexibility in scheduling appointments and they will not have to rely on commercial airline schedules."

The new venture, said a spokesman, is seen as the result of Shaikh Ali's declaration on liberalisation and open skies policy in the Bahrain aviation sector.

"There has been overwhelming response to the company's announcement of its trial services with several companies booking its services in advance," he added.

"We have received immense interest, especially at the recent Dubai Air Show and are confident that the months ahead will see Bexair building on this interest despite the tensions in the aviation industry worldwide."

Bahrain Biz Jet Operator.
 
Fakawi,

4 holerpoler seems to have detected some ulterior motive on my part.

BEXAIR is not my company and I was not trying to "tow a banner"

It seemed entirely logical to give the contact details so that persons like you and others could make direct enquiries to the operator about possible job opportunities.

Give them a call on their website, sorry I can't give you the details,
might cause offence.

funny, I thought the idea of this site was to help each other with information, not eliminate the competition; must have got it wrong.....:eek:

Do me a favour sandcastle - email me a short note confirming that you have no affiliation with Bexair - that'll set my heart at rest that you had no motive in gaining free air-time for what, I agree, is an exciting venture.

You'll forgive me for seeming inquisitive that you might possibly have an affiliation with this company, listing yourself as an aviation executive based in Bahrain. Pure coincidence, I'm sure.

Now bang off that email to me please. Can't get the Bexair website to load either - any assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards

Bexair
 
4 holerpoler,

Just to confirm I,

a. don't work for Bexair,
b. don't have a stake in it,
c. don't represent them in any way.

I work for a Government organisation and have watched Bexair develop their project over the past 12/18 months.

As a regular "pprune watcher/reader", I tought my posting was in line with some of the objects of the Forum, i.e. to inform and to highlight opportunities, particularly those of interest to the pilot community.

I could not open their website this morning and will call them to see what is wrong, in the meantime, their email address is available.

Some additional information, Bexair, in addition to owning and operating its own aircraft, is also in the business of managing other owners aircraft. They are planning to build some acft shelters, (almost hangars) at BAH to accomodate up to 10/15 acft - bear in mind that summer temperatures here can reach 46/49c.

looks like they forgot to upload their website properly - the index page is missing....not the sort of mistake a pilot would EVER make!!!

Latte tester 7th May 2002 15:14

Fakawi, be careful if you are thinking of this company for employment. They don't pay well, work you really hard and the rotation in and out of country is not great. The last person that I know of who went to work as a F/O on the 604 was offered and accepted US$3500/month, 11 months on one off. To me, that's "stay home money".
Time spent in recce is seldom wasted.

Bexair Citation Job
 
Was looking into flying a Bravo for this company. Seems they are expanding but was horrified form some of the posts I read. What is going on at this place? From what I understand this position would be in Moscow. Any idea if and what they pay? Would really appreciate it. Thanks

Kopeloi 4th Nov 2004 07:05

At past lot of crews left due the problems with salary and expense payments. Donīt know if they try to use similar tricks. Management is still the same. Airplanes are great and flying good.
But be warned....

ANyone please give me some specifics as I am really looking into this job but sure as hell don't want to go over there if they screw with the crew.

Kopeloi 5th Nov 2004 06:17

Simply read the previous threads and make up your own mind.
If there is a large number of unpaid crews around I would assume that the same could happen to you with them.....

bluesafrica 5th Nov 2004 07:14

You can always ask them how many from they recent crews have stayed longer than 6 months with them?
:sad:
