Jet Aviation

About Jet Aviation… 

A legacy of half a century… with much more to come. 

Since taking flight from its first Basel-based hangar in 1967, Jet Aviation has become a truly global company. Now in some 50 locations worldwide, with over 4000 employees – from apprentices to master craftspeople – of more than 80 nationalities, their strength is in the diversity of its people, their skills and expertise and ability to make every customer experience as easy and seamless as possible. 

In every role and department, from aircraft management to maintenance, refurbishment, and upgrade, in every location, Jet Aviation is dedicated to detail, safety and everyone they work with. It’s why their customers choose them as their partner of choice. 

As Jet Aviation continue their journey to perfecting the art of flight, they continue to search for their future ‘artisans of aviation’ – people who, from the hangar, on the ground, behind the scenes, or in air, help to enable the wonder of global flight.
