Dubai: Prestige Jet has created two new operational divisions designed to facilitate better management and performance of its aircraft and enhance passenger services.

Prestige Technique and Prestige Flight Support are both based at Al Bateen City Airport, the airline's operational base, where a dedicated passenger departure lounge was also opened last month.

Faris Deeb, managing director of Prestige Jet, said that by establishing its own capabilities in Al Bateen City Airport, Prestige Jet is better able to control costs and performance of the aircraft, while at the same time enhancing the passenger's jet charter experience.

"We believe the two new divisions will help elevate our client service standards to an even higher level and will allow us to better compete with world's best private jet charter operators," he said.

"Furthermore they are core components of a long term plan to establish a number of our own Fixed Base Operations (FBOs) in strategic locations globally, so as to afford better financial and operational control of key services.

Prestige Technique already provides basic maintenance services for the general aviation industry and a development plan is being evaluated.
