The Sky Valet Connect network of FBOs is expanding in France and Greece to serve 42 destinations

Five years after it launched and opened for business in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and France, the Sky Valet Connect label is continuing to expand and offer its services in Saint-Etienne-Loire and three Greek airports.

Sky Valet Connect is continuing to develop and consolidate a homogeneous and coherent network along two main axes: the wider Mediterranean area and the corridor between the English Channel and the Côte d'Azur.

By joining the franchise network in summer 2023, Proton Air Services had already enabled Sky Valet Connect to offer its services at five Greek airports (Thessaloniki, Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Heraklion) and two destinations in Cyprus (Paphos and Larnaka). Today, Proton Air Services is announcing it is launching operations in Corfu, Paros and Aktion.

In France, Saint-Etienne-Loire airport, which also provides ground handling services, has just joined the network. It is the only member from Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France's second-largest region in terms of tourism, demographics, GDP and foreign trade.

"With the development of Proton Air Services and the arrival of Saint-Etienne-Loire among our franchisees, Sky Valet Connect has established itself as a dynamic ground handling network, offering its members innovative and relevant solutions to help them grow stronger. The renewed confidence of our members demonstrates their interest in our brand, its reputation and prominence, in a win-win partnership ", said Jean-François Guitard, Director of the General Aviation and External Development Business Unit of the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur Group.

Sky Valet is the first European FBO (fixed-base operator) to have developed a branded label and a co-branding strategy with other operators and airports. The Sky Valet network is now one of Europe's leaders, with 42 destinations in 6 countries: Avignon, Bergerac, Béziers Cap d'Agde, Biarritz-Pays Basque, Caen, Cannes Mandelieu, Deauville, Pau Pyrénées, Rodez-Aveyron, Saint-Etienne-Loire and Golfe de Saint-Tropez in France, La Coruña, Barcelona, Girona, Ibiza, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Santiago de Compostela and Valencia in Spain, Beja, Cascais, Faro, Funchal, Lajes, Lisbon, Porto, Porto Santo, Ponta Delgada and Santa Maria in Portugal, Cuneo and Trieste in Italy, Larnaka and Paphos in Cyprus and Athens, Aktion, Corfu, Heraklion, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Thessaloniki in Greece.
