Eurojet announce £5m Birmingham Airport expansion
19.05.11
UK aircraft management, charter and maintenance company Eurojet Aviation is to spend £5 million on an expansion at Birmingham Airport. The Belfast based company will build a new 3720m² (41,000ft²) complex including a full-service fixed-base operation (FBO), commercial operations centre and aircraft sales suite and a maintenance facility.
The maintenance facility is set for completion by the end of the year, when it will become an official manufacturer-authorised service centre. Eurojet will also base two of its managed Cessna Citation aircraft at the new FBO.
Eurojet's managing director Graeme Campbell said: ‘We have operated from Birmingham for over 20 years. We are absolutely delighted to be locating this world-class development at such a high-profile airport in the heart of the country.'
‘The complete operational flexibility offered by Birmingham Airport – together with the tremendous support from the airport for the project – were decisive factors in selecting Birmingham, which is also the perfect location for the expansion of our FBO activities.’
Birmingham Airport’s chief executive Paul Kehoe said that the investment ‘represents an important development in the establishment of an aircraft maintenance cluster in the West Midlands’.Add to: del.icio.us | Digg it | Newsvine | NowPublic | Reddit
