Basel, Switzerland

In 1967, Carl Hirschmann, founder of Jet Aviation, rented a hangar at the Basel airport and established a maintenance facility. He understood that business aviation was coming to Europe, and he knew that reliable maintenance services would be essential. As the company grew and expanded internationally, Hirschmann also foresaw that individuals would buy big airplanes and then want highly customized interiors for those aircraft. With that in mind, he bought an old Cathay Pacific Convair 880, installed a luxury interior and took it to the 1977 Paris Air Show. Completions became a specialty at Jet Aviation, which now has one of the largest completions centers in the world. In 2008, Jet Aviation Basel added a new wide-body hangar large enough to work on any wide-body aircraft, including the Airbus A380. Our skilled employees make it possible to do all aspects of even elaborate completions in-house, saving you time and guaranteeing premium quality.

Today, in addition to its extensive maintenance and completions capabilities, Jet Aviation Basel is a leader in avionics, refurbishment and paint services. Thanks to this broad expertise, you can have all of your needs taken care of in a single downtime. Jet Aviation Basel is located at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, which is operated jointly by Switzerland and France.
