Simple in shaping, futuristic and with finest details cared at the top. That's TAG, the new FBOs with terminal for general and business aviation. Today it was presented to the local authorithies, entrapreneurs and press. Its not replace nothing, ver existed before and market needed at asked it. From some months (1st day was on April 21 2008)
Bologna have something of appealing in Italy and especially in this market.
Its a 1100sqm two storey terminal, a 2400sqm FBO facility and an apron that house 5 Gulfstream V jets and a fuel farm.
Inside the passengers station various services are available to the clientele: fast track access to the planes with on-site security channel, meeting room, crew briefing room and single room for day use.
The hangar facility was shaped for FBO use and line maintenance. It can house 6 small biz planes or 2 Gulfstream GV parallel parked. Partially one B737s, or A319s. Tail must stay outside.
Since opening over 2300 movements was been handled. Bologna annually serves 5500 planes, the target of TAG managers is 8000.
In this FBOs works two ground handling operators: Sirio Private Aviation and Aloa that supply all services that customers need.
TAG is a company where 51% is in the hands of SAB and two private investors (Sirio and B.Group) have the minority part (24,5% each).
Target for TAG is to be a key point in the territory in that market, in incoming and outgoing. And why not, an excellent visiting card for whom lands in Bologna for its first time.
