Eurojet Aviation, one of the UK's leading aircraft management, charter and maintenance companies, has successfully opened its major new £5 million business aviation centre at Birmingham Airport. The operation has also received approval from Cessna Aircraft Company to become an Authorized Citation Service Facility.

In addition to the service facility, the 41,000 sq ft building also includes a full service FBO, commercial operations centre and aircraft sales suite.

Eurojet's Managing Director, Graeme Campbell, said: "Our objective for the Eurojet Business Aviation Centre at Birmingham was simple - to create one of the finest private aviation handling and maintenance facilities in Europe. With the tremendous support of Birmingham Airport, Cessna and our other service partners, we are confident that we have achieved this.

"As one of the longest-established private aviation companies in the country, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest service standards with the utmost professionalism. Joining the network of Citation Service Facilities is further evidence of this and we look forward to further enhancing our long standing relationship with Cessna in the future."

Concluding, he said: "With the forthcoming London Olympics only a matter of weeks away, we are confident that this new world-class facility, located at such a centrally located 24hr airport with exceptional road and rail links to London, provides yet another compelling reason for operators and their clients to consider Birmingham as a very viable option when travelling to the capital this summer."

"We are happy to have Eurojet as part of the Cessna Authorized Citation Service Facility network," said Kriya Shortt, vice president sales Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Their support in the UK will be a great benefit and competitive advantage for our customers in that region."

In addition to the luxurious VIP passenger lounges the new FBO offers extensive facilities dedicated to meet the needs of aircrew. The complex includes a crew lounge, crew kitchen, private studies, flight planning room, shower facilities, and a unique 'snooze room' with individual softly lit 'dens'. Complimentary Wi-fi connectivity is also available in all areas .

Will Heynes, Development Director at Birmingham Airport, commenting on the new partnership said: "Here at Birmingham Airport we are always looking at ways to appeal to all markets and this is shown with the opening of the new Eurojet facility. General Aviation is an area that we are actively promoting and with Eurojet as a partner we are sure this new venture will be a fantastic addition to the Airport's portfolio."

The newly opened FBO will also join the Avfuel-branded affiliate FBO network. The move means Eurojet and its ground-handling teams will have a greatly enhanced fuel supply offering for its private aviation customers, including a dedicated fuel truck on hand to enable quick and convenient turnarounds. Avfuel have a presence in over 2,000 locations worldwide and are recognised as the market leader in their sector. Eurojet was the company's first European affiliate.

President of Avfuel Craig Sincock said that Avfuel Corporation is pleased to work with Eurojet Aviation as the company's branded fuel and services provider at Birmingham Airport. "As Avfuel continues its international expansion, our company strives to bring convenience, value and visibility to its partners. We are honoured to be acquainted with such a well-regarded company and its FBOs, and we look forward to working together to meet and exceed the needs of customers," he said.
