Switzerland's Exklusiv Aviation Services is planning to extend its network with more offices in central and southern Europe.

Exklusiv was launched in 2004 and works with private aircraft operators on a contract basis to introduce and service customers. It has offices in Istanbul, Bucharest, London and Moscow.

Director Philippe Fragniere, says: "We have extremely good contacts and local expertise in south and central Europe and this expansion will enable us service our contract operators in a growing market."

Exklusiv, based in Istanbul, provides landing and overflight permissions in Africa, former CIS countries and the Middle East at "very short notice."

Its worldwide services include enroute flight planning, weather, notam, nat tracks and AIP information.
