Vladimir Petak – More of the Finest

19/05/2015 by Aviation Times

‘We have arrived where we begin!’ Those were my words last year on the occasion of ABS Jet’s 10 year anniversary. Another year has passed and it was characterized by further expansion and strengthening of our position in our core markets, as well as increasing the activities in growth markets. We can proudly look back at a year of outstanding performances and continuous growth. Performance and success find their evidence in our annual financial results; ABS Jets is a healthy enterprise, which balances its investments well with the revenues and allowing a solid positive financial outcome.

We made great strides and remarkable achievements. ABS Jets proves its one-stop-shop capabilities for business jet operators and executive travelers flying to, from, or via Europe. The Op – eration Control Center (OCC) was expanded to meet the significant increase in number of flight planning assignments for customers coming from the USA and China. ABS Jets‘ flight crews have safely clocked 3700 flight hours and operated 2100 flights. Another Embraer Legacy 650 was added to the fleet. A Legacy 600 and a Gulfstream 550 changed from private to commercial operation. Throughout the year, the Technical Department has reached some remarkable milestones. Agreements were signed appointing ABS Jets as a Honeywell Authorized Service Center as well as a Honeywell Authorized Avionics Dealership. ABS Jets received aircraft maintenance certification by the Russian aviation authorities to perform maintenance on Russian (RA) registered aircraft. ABS Jets has become the preferred maintenance center for all Embraer Legacy operating in CIS. Our 2014 Annual Report shows outstanding achievements in every department.

The vision of ABS Jets from the beginning of its operation has always been to become the best business aviation operator in the industry. What began in 2004 as a humble aircraft charter and maintenance operator of two jets with a staff of twenty, has grown into a major player in the European business aviation industry with a fleet of twelve and a team of 216 employees that is prepared to do anything without compromises to ensure that customers will get highclass performance. ABS Jets is now a multi-facetted company forged out of challenges and opportunities that is yielding demand and a reputation as a one-stop-shop and for its business aviation services. ABS Jets has the resources and the capacity to confidently take on whatever challenge confronts us, and to provide immediate responses to any customer request or needed business aviation service. Who would have thought in 2004 when a modest company by the name of ABS Jets was founded that it would become one of the most outstanding and respected performers in our industry?

ABS Jets as an internationally awarded TOP 10 European business aviation leader will continue with improvements and extensions in the already comprehensive service portfolio of the organization. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining and furthering ABS Jets’ quality and safety standards which are part of our trade mark. ABS Jets is a pragmatic and forward thinking company that keeps its promises, delivers premier quality of services and complies with the highest standards in the industry in every element of the organization. ABS Jets will uphold its reputation of a company that values and truly cares about its customers and partners; they deserve no less. Now, in our eleventh year, ABS Jets will continue the positive developments and progress and my outlook for 2015 is simply: ‘More of the finest!’
