voted the best FBO in Europe, the
Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific
this year from a list of more than
4,500 FBOs. The airport has won the

It was the first carbon neutral
business airport in the world, it
handles approximately 30,000 flights
per annum, catering for a wide range
of aircraft types up to Boeing business
jets and Airbus corporate jets. The

up to 50,000 jet movements in the
future, achieved in steady increments.
“The airport and FBO offers an
unparalleled experience with
ultra-modern facilities and an
outstanding team of top service
professionals,” says Brandon O’Reilly,
CEO at TAG Farnborough Airport.
“Every aspect of the journey is
bespoke, tailored to meet the exact
needs of our customers to optimize
comfort and convenience.”
The airport has invested more than
£200m (US$254m) in infrastructure
development to provide modern
facilities and bespoke services.
Features and services include
temperature-controlled hangar space,
direct ramp access to waiting jets,
fast-track entrance, 24/7 cleaning
