ExecuJet, part of Luxaviation Group, is proud to announce that all nine of its FBOs in Spain have successfully achieved the IS-BAH Stage 2 accreditation. These FBOs have recently joined the Group from Sky Valet, and will be integrated into the ExecuJet FBO brand in 2025.
The IS-BAH (International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling) certificate is issued by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and is a globally recognized safety standard specifically for fixed-base operators (FBOs). The achievement of Stage 2 accreditation highlights ExecuJet’s rigorous implementation of these standards, which focus on risk management, safety culture, and the ongoing development of operational best practices.
The nine accredited FBOs, located in Spain's most prominent business aviation hubs, include Malaga Costa del Sol (AGP), Barcelona-El Prat (BCN), Girona Costa Brava (GRO), Ibiza (IBZ), A Coruña (LCG), Madrid Barajas (MAD), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Santiago de Compostela (SCQ), and Valencia (VLC). The Stage 2 accreditation will be valid until summer 2026.
Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group, says: "We are delighted with this recognition, which reaffirms our commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence across our global FBO network. Achieving IS-BAH Stage 2 accreditation in Spain marks a key milestone in integrating these locations into the ExecuJet network and advancing our leadership in the FBO industry."
Michel Tohane, president of group FBO services at Luxaviation, comments: "These certifications are a crucial step in aligning our growth and safety goals. The newly accredited Spanish FBOs reflect our teams' dedication to maintaining the highest standards and pave the way for a seamless integration into the ExecuJet network."
The IS-BAH accreditation is awarded to FBOs that demonstrate a robust safety management system (SMS) and a continuous improvement approach in their operations. The accreditation process involves a comprehensive audit of an FBO’s operations, safety protocols, and staff training programs.
The ExecuJet FBOs in Spain integrate into the broader network of Luxaviation Group’s FBOs, all of which maintain IS-BAH certifications. This milestone further solidifies Luxaviation’s position as one of the leading FBO operators globally.
