Graham Stephenson Wins Lifetime Achievement Award

Graham Stephenson has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the organisers of BA Meet-Up, Europe’s second annual business aviation networking event at RAF Northolt, UK, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the industry. The award was presented to him on 17 March 2010.

Graham, former head of ExecuJet Aviation Group’s Fixed Base Operations until August 2009, has enjoyed an aviation career spanning almost half a century – 21 years in commercial and 23 years in business aviation. His most recent achievement was the establishment of a joint venture FBO in Kuala Lumpur called “SkyPark Malaysia” between ExecuJet and Hawker Pacific. Before joining ExecuJet in 2006 Graham worked with Jet Aviation (in Saudi Arabia) and then London City Airport, where he was instrumental in establishing the Jet Centre and the airport’s successful foray into business aviation.

Despite ‘retiring’ at the end of August 2009, Graham continues to lend his expertise to ExecuJet as an ad-hoc consultant. He played a significant role contributing to the success of the company’s FBO activity in Zurich during the World Economic Forum in January 2010, and also provided his expertise for the organisation of the General Aviation Terminal operation in Berlin in February. Drawing on his years of experience in the FBO world Graham has helped to establish a new online training venture for FBO staff together with London Metropolitan University, which was launched during BA Meet-Up.
