Editorial Dear business friends and colleagues, Jet Aviation continues to make headlines in what has proven to be one of the busiest and most exciting years in our history. In mid August, General Dynamics announced it had signed an agreement to acquire all shares of the Jet Aviation Group from our current shareholder, the Permira Funds. The acquisition by General Dynamics, subject to normal regulatory approvals and expected to close by the end of 2008, will expand its participation in the rapidly growing global market for business aviation services. Jet Aviation will continue with its current, highly successful business model, serving the entire aircraft manufacturing community and its global client base, as a new business unit within the General Dynamics Aerospace group. This transaction caps a dynamic three-year ownership period by Permira, which saw unprecedented levels of capital investment and growth in all of Jet Aviation’s primary lines of business. General Dynamics’ ownership will provide a stable and long-term outlook for Jet Aviation, and we are very much encouraged by the enthusiastic feedback we have received from customers, partners and employees following the announcement. On a different front, Jet Aviation’s support of the 2008 Olympic Games from its new FBO at Capital International Airport in Beijing, represented one of the most challenging and exciting events that we have ever undertaken. With our joint venture partner, Deer Air, and in partnership with Capital Jet, a subsidiary of Capital Airport Holding, over 400 operators arriving from around the world appreciated Jet Aviation’s dedication to delivering top ramp and maintenance services with our on-site staff of over 30 professionals. Our success in China was indeed a team effort, which also included representatives from Bombardier, Dassault, Gulfstream and Honeywell who were present at our FBO to rapidly support technical issues when required. Jet Aviation will be well positioned in the post-Olympic period when we will add line maintenance services to our FBO business, once the construction of the new hangar is complete in the first quarter of 2009. China is one of business aviation’s most important emerging markets and we intend to be a key facilitator in its growth. Driven by rapid growth, we have continued to evolve Jet Aviation’s current EMEA & Asia organization and we have re-structured around our principal lines of business in order to achieve better alignment, consistency and synergies between business activities. Completions, maintenance, FBO operations and aircraft services will each have dedicated leadership teams, reporting to the COO EMEA & Asia. These changes, we believe, will serve to more effectively and efficiently deliver the full benefits of our global network to our customers, wherever in the world their travels may take them.
