Flexjet has broken ground on its first private terminal in Europe, the first such facility offered by a fractional operator outside North America. Located at the UK’s Farnborough Airport, and scheduled for completion in 2026, the 22,600-sq-ft ramp-side structure will be separate from the airport’s FBO.
It will feature a spacious lobby and concierge desk with separate arrival and departure lounges dedicated to the company’s passengers. Additionally, it will include a dining/formal bar area with meeting spaces and expansive views of the airfield.
On the operations side, the London-area facility will be home to Flexjet's tactical control center, operational team, and pilot amenities. Upon its opening, the company's Red Label flight attendant training facility will relocate there from its existing location on the airport.
The dedicated terminal is designed to echo the airport’s existing facilities and will incorporate environmentally friendly features such as solar panels on the roof and rainwater collection for reuse. Four electric vehicle chargers will be included.
