Charlie Bodnar, the CEO of Euro Jet says “We are committed to continuing to expand throughout the Central Asian region as it remains a strategic location and central refueling point between Europe and Asia. Our Country Manager Kadamsho Mishakarov is another example of our desire to not only offer handling support services but also ensure it is our people on-the-ground handling our customer‘s plane. Our clients invest so much in their aircraft and planning each trip that we are obligated to make sure everything goes perfectly.“

Euro Jet is on top of all the airport rules and regulations for the event and our team of aviation professionals can assist you with ground handling, slot coordination, and accommodations.
We have expanded our team in Poland and Ukraine in anticipation of the event and already have over 50 flights going in there for it.
EURO JET FUEL A SUCCESS
We are pleased to announce that Euro Jet Fuels had its most successful year in 2011. We experienced a rapid expansion in our fuel support services throughout the world. Our fuel uplifts covered a global region that includes not just our core territory of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, but also Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Euro Jet establishes direct relationships with airport fuel providers to keep our pricing competitive. Our local presence allows us to have direct supervision of the fueling. Therefore we can ensure that every aspect of the handling process runs smoothly.
OFF TO A GOOD START IN ZADAR
Our Euro Jet station in Zadar, Croatia is already seeing significant growth in 2012. Since its inception a few years ago, the station under the guidance of Sime Jukic has continued to expand as an alternative airport to Split. The drive time from Zadar to the main yacht harbor is just an hour and avoids having to go through the center of Split to get to the port. In addition to passengers looking to go to the Harbor, Zadar is also expecting to see a significant increase in government and military flights this year.
According to Euro Jet‘s Croatia Country Manager Davor Brixy, “We only expect aviation traffic to increase there as the world continues to learn more about all that Zadar has to offer in terms of its efficient operation and location. As it grows, we will do the same and be ready to make sure our customers are taken care of when they go there.“
READY TO COORDINATE FLIGHTS INTO SEOUL
Leaders from all over the world will gather in Seoul, South Korea when it hosts the next Nuclear Security Summit on March 26-27, 2012. Euro Jet has already secured overseeing the handling of several European government aircraft. Not only can we secure handling into Seoul, but also provide advice on strategic fuel stops en route.
Euro Jet is able to assist with handling at Seoul‘s two commercial airports of Incheon and Gimpo. We can also assist with handling at Seoul Air Base and the US Air Base in Osan. We are also able to coordinate refueling at the recommended stop of Novosibirsk in Russia.
Our operations Director Tomas Chobot says “We continue to focus not only expanding our presence in our core European and Central Asian region, but also providing for our customers in other strategic locations around-the-world. Over the past few years, we have experienced a significant growth in the number of flights we are coordinating into Seoul. We expect the number of flights there to continue to increase with the Nuclear Security Summit.“

EURO JET CONTINUES FLIGHTS INTO LIBYA
Soon after airspace opened up in Libya last year, Euro Jet started coordinating flights into Tripoli, Bengazi, Mitiga and Sebha. To make things more challenging we were doing last minute air ambulance flights into the region. This included some complicated flight planning and obtaining overflight permits that required us to fly around restricted airspace.
Libya‘s Minister of Transport recently announced that one of their top initiatives for 2012 will be the expansion of Tripoli airport with the goal of making it a major hub in North Africa. As Libya continues to rebuild it will become a center of strategic investment. A conference this June at the Dusit Thani hotel in Dubai called “The Future of Libya Development Forum“ will host 150 world delegates from around the world to discuss and begin the process on rebuilding the country.
