Jet Aviation, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), was founded in Basel, Switzerland in 1967 and is one of the leading business aviation services companies in the world.
The new 3,850-square-meter hangar was built to help meet the increasing demand for local business aviation services.
Due to the site location with the existing hangars in operation, full performance-based submission was needed to address challenging deviations such as fire compartmentation, extended discharge distances from existing exit staircases to external and insufficient setback distances from the notional boundary.
Performance-based smoke control system by natural means was provided as one of its mitigating measures to address the non-compliances.
