For the 19th consecutive year, the Airport has been recognised as the highest-ranked Fixed Based Operator (FBO) within Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, a title it has held since the Survey was first introduced nearly two decades ago.
AIN’s annual awards are based on an industry-wide survey of pilots, flight crews, and dispatchers, evaluating key areas such as the passenger experience, pilot amenities, and operational facilities.
Simon Geere, CEO of Farnborough Airport, commented: “Winning this recognition in AIN’s International FBO Survey for the 19th consecutive year is an honour and a source of immense pride for everyone at Farnborough Airport. Our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operation is unwavering, and while we are proud of our continued success, we never take it for granted. Listening to the needs of our customers and continuously enhancing our services remain at the heart of everything we do. Being recognised once again as the best FBO outside of the Americas is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team, and we are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from those who took part in the survey.”
“As Europe’s premier business aviation gateway, our commitment to setting new benchmarks for service, sustainability, and infrastructure excellence remains steadfast. We will continue to invest in the future of Farnborough Airport to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry,” Simon added.
Farnborough Airport earned the highest accolades in the 2025 AIN International FBO Survey among all FBOs worldwide for its operational facilities and was also among the top performers for its passenger and pilot amenities.
Farnborough Airport’s recognition in the Survey reinforces its position as one of the highest-performing FBOs globally and reflects its long-standing reputation for excellence and forward-thinking approach to business aviation.
