ExecuJet started operations as a maintenance provider at Lanseria Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1991. The facility was appointed in 1993 as a Major Service Centre by Honeywell (formerly Allied Signal) and a Learjet Authorised Service Facility by Bombardier.
In 1994, the firm extended its offer to include services, deployed in concert with a Bombardier Business Aircraft sales franchise. In 1995, the firm became a Canadair-authorized service facility. In 1997, it opened in Denmark as ExecuJet Scandinavia.
In 1999, ExecuJet Middle East was established in Dubai, and the Bombardier sales franchise expanded to 10 Middle Eastern countries.
ExecuJet Australia was founded in 2000 and awarded dealership rights for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. It included an aircraft management and maintenance center at Sydney Airport. The facility was also appointed as Bombardier Authorised Service Facility and Gulfstream authorized warranty repair facility.
ExecuJet expanded its European operations in 2001 with an aircraft management business, a Fixed Base Operation (FBO) and its offices in Zurich became the headquarters for ExecuJet. Bombardier adds Switzerland to ExecuJet's business aircraft dealership.
In 2002, ExecuJet expanded its services into Latin America with operations at two Mexican Airports in Monterrey and an extended facility at Lanseria.
The firm opened in Dubai in 2005 and ExecuJet was appointed as a Middle East Bombardier authorized service centre. In Berlin, ExecuJet acquired an equity stake in Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS), in a joint venture partnership with Lufthansa Technik and Bombardier.

In 2009, ExecuJet South Africa occupied a new FBO facility in Cape Town in anticipation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The wider firm was restructured around an OEM-independent business model. Later that year, ExecuJet Malaysia opened a maintenance base in Kuala Lumpur.
In the year 2010 Berlin Airports selected ExecuJet Europe as the operator of the General Aviation Terminal, and ExecuJet Mexico opened an office at Toluca Airport. In France, ExecuJet partnered with Advanced Air Support, for the FBO at Paris Le Bourget Airport, and a joint venture partnership was established with China Sichuan Haite and ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China was born, based at Tianjin Binhai International Airport.
ExecuJet continued its worldwide expansion with the opening of FBO facilities such as Frankfurt, Melbourne, Wellington, Gerona, Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and ExecuJet Europe winning the Cambridge FBO tender. A new FBO was opened at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, Turkey run by Bilen Air Service in strategic partnership with ExecuJet.

The same year, our Cambridge operations were granted a helicopter AOC, and Europe launched helicopter services in the United Kingdom.
