About Jet Centre by Willis
Jet Centre by Willis operates the FBO at Teesside International Airport, located just east of Darlington in North East England. The facility is now managed by Willis Lease Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: WLFC), which brings significant aviation industry resources to the operation. The FBO provides full ground handling services for business, private, military, and cargo flights, with a team of trained professional staff available to manage all aspects of an aircraft visit. Passengers and crew can use a comfortable facility with complimentary refreshments and snacks, and crew members have access to a dedicated pilot briefing room. The FBO also offers hangar facilities, external aircraft washing, and preferred rates at select hotels in the area. The location between Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees puts the FBO within reasonable driving distance of the entire Tees Valley, Durham, and North Yorkshire. The A1(M) motorway provides fast connections south toward York and Leeds or north toward Newcastle. Teesside International is a significantly quieter airport than Newcastle or Leeds Bradford, meaning minimal delays and fast processing for private jet arrivals. The airport holds EASA/CAA approvals across several aircraft types and maintains line and base maintenance capabilities through the Willis organization. For charter passengers visiting the northeast of England, Teesside offers a low-congestion alternative to larger regional airports. The Willis investment has brought new management energy and resources to the facility. Ground transport can be arranged through the FBO team for connections to hotels, golf courses, and business destinations across the region.
