Avfuel Corporation and Eurojet Aviation collaborate further at Birmingham Airport (EGBB/BHX)

Avfuel Corporation and Eurojet Aviation Ltd. – which recently announced that Avfuel would brand Eurojet Aviation, the locally based FBO at the George Best Belfast City Airport (EGAC/BHD) – are collaborating on fuel, sales and marketing for Eurojet's newest planned FBO location at Birmingham Airport (EGBB/BHX). The airport, located to the north west of London, is expected to play a pivotal role in the support and service of business jets for the upcoming 2012 Olympics.

Eurojet's new service centre and FBO at Birmingham airport is slated to become operational in January 2012. The substantial 41,000 sq ft complex will include: a state-of-the-art maintenance facility; hangarage; a full service FBO comprehensive VIP handling services; and a commercial centre and aircraft sales suite. An experienced operations staff will ensure aircraft are tended to in a discreet and professional manner and assistance with ground arrangements will also be available.

"Avfuel is delighted to further develop our relationship with Eurojet as they prepare to open the Birmingham location, especially during such an exciting time as the Olympics," said Avfuel Vice President of Supply and Business Development Owen Busch. "We look forward to the grand opening of the Birmingham location and to supporting Eurojet as they continue to expand their general and business aviation portfolios."

Eurojet Managing Director Graeme Campbell said: "Our new service centre and FBO are designed to be world-class facilities showcasing the very best in service and engineering excellence. Also, Birmingham Airport's proximity to London and accessibility to local transportation networks makes it ideal for clients with business interests throughout the UK."

He added: "We are committed to offering the most comprehensive and highest quality service to clients – expanding our affiliation with Avfuel assists us in sustaining that commitment. As a result, we now have a greatly enhanced fuel supply offering, together with a range of new services for clients. In this way, we ensure that clients coming to our new Birmingham facility can expect to receive the very highest standards of service available in the European marketplace. We look forward to continuing with our plans to work with Avfuel on future projects. "
