Shanghai, China (April 12, 2016) – World Fuel Services announced today that the Air Elite® Network has officially welcomed its 52nd Diamond Service FBO to the network, Skylink Services, located at Larnaka International Airport (LCLK) in Larnaka, Cyprus.
Operating as the only FBO facility at Larnaka Airport, Skylink Services (www.skylink.com.cy) has provided professional ground handling services to business and general aviation customers in Cyprus for over 18 years. With years of experience, professionalism and personalized service, the 24/7 FBO has built a strong reputation as the FBO of choice for VIPs, celebrities and business travelers alike. The 17,000 square foot facility is managed by a dedicated, multilingual staff whose main goal is to provide visiting passengers and crew exceptional service with an emphasis on discretion.
As a result of the FBO’s reputation, the Republic of Cyprus selected Skylink Services as the company to build, manage and operate Larnaka Airport’s Heads of State Lounge facility, reserved for all Heads of State and other visiting foreign dignitaries.
“Our business is built on the tenets of professionalism, discretion and experienced VIP aircraft & passenger handling services,” explained George Mavros, Managing Director of Skylink Services LTD. “From the moment passengers and crews arrive on our ramp, to the moment we part ways, our staff strives to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience at our facility. We are honored to be joining the caliber of the current Air Elite Network members and proud to partner with our friends at World Fuel Services. We know our affiliation with Air Elite will bring new customer service insights while providing added value to discerning travelers visiting Cyprus.”
“Skylink’s extraordinary ability to grow their business and build their excellent reputation has established them as the premier FBO in Cyprus. We are excited to welcome Skylink Services to the Air Elite Network and we look forward to working closely with the Skylink team to help them achieve their business’s goals and to grow the network in their region and around the globe,” said John Rau, World Fuel Services’ Executive Vice President, Global Aviation & Marine.
