JB Aviation Services invests 55 M$
LONGUEUIL, QC, June 12, 2024 /CNW/ – Quebec-based JB Aviation Services (JBAS), expert in complete aviation logistics and services solutions, announces a $55 million investment at the MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport for the creation of a first-class private aviation terminal. This investment marks a crucial step in the development of airport services for JBAS. The company is proud to contribute towards taking the aviation industry to a new level.
JBAS President Jocelin Bureau made the announcement today on the sidelines of the International Economic Forum of the Americas (FEIA). Over 80 people gathered at the MET for the occasion, including partners, industry colleagues and representatives from the local community.
Aiming to guarantee first-rate aviation logistics, combining operational excellence and sustainable innovation, JBAS will offer 5-star airport services for corporate and private passenger aircraft. The company will also be able to offer flight shuttle logistics management services for workers in various sectors of activity throughout Quebec and Canada.
By integrating the aerospace innovation zone, JBAS will serve the crucial business aviation market and represent a key economic pillar of the ecosystem. In addition to being at the cutting edge of innovation, the new private terminal aims to enhance the passenger experience, notably by offering smaller, more fuel-efficient and quieter aircraft, all in line with MET’s vision of responsible development.
Construction of the new terminal will start in September 2024, with operations scheduled to begin in fall 2025. Situated on a 500,000 sq. ft. site, the terminal will have a surface area of 141,000 sq. ft., including 100,000 sq. ft. of hangar space.
