The center will offer FBO services to transient aircraft, seeking to market itself as a low cost alternative to popular locations in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. In a memo released to the public, the company emphasized its desire to allow for quick technical stops, with inexpensive fueling and minimal handling fees.
ACI is expecting the convenience of a full service aviation facility centrally positioned in Asia to attract significant air traffic to the Subic Bay airport.
According to President and CEO Terry Habeck, “Subic Bay is poised to become one of the busier business aviation hubs in Asia as more owners and operators seek low cost solutions in the region.”
In addition to FBO services, the center will house factory-trained technicians available 24/7 to accommodate the maintenance needs of most long and medium range business jets. Because of its special economic status as a Freeport Zone, Subic Bay has the advantage of eliminating duties imposed on inbound aircraft parts, thereby avoiding custom holds.
As soon as November, Gulfstream, Challenger and Westwind aircraft will be available for charter, and ACI will begin offering aircraft management and air ambulance services from the new base.
