Thai business aircraft operator MJets has opened the country's first dedicated fixed-base operation at Bangkok's Don Mueang airport to exploit the growing demand for business aviation throughout the South-East Asian country.

The 186m2 (2,000ft2) executive lounge includes shower facilities, a business centre for passengers and pilots, plus flight planning and pilot briefing facilities. The company's flight dispatch support team is also at the site.

Two hangars, each 1,500m2 (16,150ft2), are being constructed at the city's former international airport. They will offer maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the country's business jets.

"The business jet market in Thailand is growing. In addition to the jets that we have several local tycoons and air charter companies are interested in buying more jets or trading up to a bigger aircraft. A variety of aircraft are being purchased in Thailand," says Navdeepak Vaid, assistant to the MJets managing director.

"We are also looking for more aircraft to manage out of Don Mueang," adds Vaid. "We are looking into additional jets to offer medical evacuation services."

MJets also has exclusive rights to ground handling services at Don Mueang and offers ground handling all over the country. It is also keen to set up an FBO in Phuket Island, one of Thailand's premier holiday destinations.
