Flexjet’s new private terminal at the Farnborough Airport in the UK includes amenities such as the Flexjet Gulfstream G700 Fuselage Lounge.
Fractional ownership provider Flexjet celebrated the grand opening of its new $34 million 2,583-ft2 private terminal at Farnborough Airport in the UK, calling it a “major milestone in its global expansion.”
The terminal, available only to Flexjet’s fractional ownership customers and their guests, is located in a new ramp-side building separate from the airport’s main terminal. Flexjet’s facility is hosted by company staff.
Flexjet, based in Cleveland, is the second largest fractional ownership provider, behind NetJets, with a fleet of more than 350 private jets and helicopters. It also operates nine private terminals in the U.S. and has operations, sales and maintenance facilities in 25 locations.
The terminal coincides with Flexjet’s recent opening of a new maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar facility at the Farnborough Airport to provide dedicated maintenance for Flexjet’s global fleet.
“This opening establishes one of the most significant branded luxury environments in private aviation and is a defining moment in Flexjet’s global expansion,” Flexjet Chairman Kenn Ricci said. “It is our most ambitious infrastructure completion to date, beyond our North American headquarters.
On the first floor, the private terminal includes a Flexjet Gulfstream G700 Fuselage Lounge, a full-size recreation of the cabin of the ultra-long-range jet, an Owners Bar & Lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows, a bespoke sculpture “Aero” by David Spriggs, a British Canadian artist, and private meeting spaces.
The facility includes a second-floor new tactical control center for Flexjet operations and support staff along with a finishing school-style training center for Flexjet’s nearly 300 cabin servers. It also serves as Flexjet’s European headquarters.
The facility’s construction also features environmental considerations, including 138 solar panels and a siphonic drainage system to collect and recycle rainwater to be used internally.
The terminal’s opening represents Flexjet’s commitment to offering elevated private aviation experiences. In July 2025, Flexjet received a record $800 million from a consortium of investors led by L. Catterton, an affiliate of luxury goods company LVMH.
“From our growing network of Flexjet exclusive private terminals to our in-house maintenance capabilities, to private helicopters, curated events, the FXLUXE travel program and exclusive partnerships, the Flexjet experience—and the dedicated ecosystem that we are investing in to support it—continues to push the boundaries in luxury experiences today,” Ricci said.
