Aruba Will Feature a New Generation Air Terminal

The Aruba Airport Authority awarded Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. the concession to build and operate a new general aviation terminal at the Reina Beatrix Airport. The new complex will cover approximately 1,500 square meters and will have direct access roads and accommodate customs and immigration on-site.

The new facility will give general aviation aircraft complete independence from the main terminal. Construction of the new terminal is scheduled to start within 90 days. Ground handling and support will be provided from temporary facilities as early as April 2005.

Ground handling services and amenities will include dedicated ramp and parking space, Jet A and AVGAS. pilot and passenger lounges, coordination of all ground transportation, catering, line maintenance, flight planning and weather briefings.

Many of the team members will be from the local area and will successfully complete UVglobal Network´s Ground Services Training program that is used throughout the network, which is now located in over 50 countries.

“As a member of the UVglobal Network, the general aviation terminal in Aruba will immediately become part of a brand that is recognized throughout the world for a high level of consistency and quality service,” stated Charles Mularski, International Development Manager at UVglobal Network.

“This places Aruba in the eyes of the aviation industry as a professional operation that is ready to meet their needs.”
