Jeppesen has recently received approval to establish a new International Trip Planning Services operations center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The new operation will open in the Dubai Airport Free Zone in spring 2007, giving business aviation operators throughout the Middle East access to a local staff that has intimate knowledge of the region and its unique requirements, and builds on Jeppesen’s 30 years of experience and expertise in international trip planning.
“The Middle East region is very active in terms of business aviation operators. Establishing our new international trip planning operation in Dubai will be a key strategic growth opportunity for Jeppesen,” said Kevin Collins, senior vice president, Business and General Aviation. “Combining Jeppesen’s proven international trip planning business with a local presence and expertise will allow us to more effectively meet the needs of our clients in the area. We will be closer to customers in terms of geographic location, language and hours of operation.”
The staff is fluent in several languages, including Arabic, and will work closely with Jeppesen’s long-established London and Frankfurt operations. All of the new Dubai-based personnel will be trained to the same high standards that exist for all Jeppesen trip planning staff around the world. In addition to flight and trip planners, the new operation will include sales and account management personnel.
The new Dubai operation will be managed by Jeppesen’s UK-based International Trip Planning Services operation, which is accredited by the world’s largest developer of quality standards—the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO 9001:2000 accreditation is tangible proof of the worldwide policies and procedures in place that help to ensure total customer satisfaction.
