Eurojet business aviation centre at Birmingham Airport (EGBB/BHX) opens new £5 million facility

Eurojet Aviation, a leading aircraft management, charter and maintenance company in the United Kingdom has successfully opened a new £5 million business aviation center at Birmingham Airport.

The 41,000 square foot building houses an Authorized Cessna Citation Service Facility, full-service FBO, commercial operations center and an aircraft sales suite. The FBO boasts luxurious VIP passenger lounges as well as 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 is available in all areas.

"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," said Eurojet's Managing Director, Graeme Campbell. "With the tremendous support of Birmingham Airport, Cessna and our other service partners, we are confident that we have achieved this."

Campbell continued, "With the forthcoming London Olympics only weeks away, we are confident that this new world-class facility, located at such a centrally located 24-hour 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."

The newly-opened FBO is part of Avfuel-branded FBO network, meaning that Eurojet and its ground-handling teams will have a greatly enhanced fuel supply offering for private aviation customers, including a dedicated fuel truck to enable quick and convenient turnarounds. The choice to join the Avfuel network builds on the relationship established between Eurojet and Avfuel with the branding of Eurojet's facility in Belfast, N. Ireland – Avfuel's first European affiliate.

"As Avfuel continues its international expansion, our company strives to bring convenience, value and visibility to its partners," said Avfuel President and CEO Craig Sincock. "Avfuel is honored to be associated with a well-regarded company such as Eurojet and is thrilled for the opportunity to provide fuel and services at Birmingham Airport. We look forward to working together with the airport and Eurojet to meet and exceed the needs of general aviation customers."

Agreed Will Heynes, Development Director at Birmingham Airport, "At Birmingham Airport we are always looking at ways to appeal to all markets. 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."
