“Our heritage in the refurbishment, refinishing, upgrade and support of aircraft of all sizes is excellent. There is a clear demand in the EMEA region for our services and we are working on some exciting projects,” commented James Dillon-Godfray, vp business development.
“The breadth and depth of the capabilities of Marshall Aviation Services is unparalleled, in that we are trusted for the sale, operation, management, support and modification of new and pre-owned business aircraft. As part of one of the UK's largest independent aerospace companies, we offer the full spectrum of business aviation services, from day-to-day operation and management through to complex upgrades, refurbishments, and modifications,” he added.
A leading supplier of MRO and engineering support for Hawker Beechcraft products (Hawker business jets and King Air turboprops), Marshall also supports the Cessna Citation business jet family and Bombardier Global Express aircraft. Marshall's Broughton facility, acquired in September 2013 from Beechcraft Corporation, is already a popular MRO base with many Hawker customers from the Middle East who bring their aircraft to the UK for a variety of checks.
Marshall Aviation Services also has facilities at Cambridge International Airport, which for decades has been a popular airport - with its relatively long 1,965m/ 6,447 ft runway – among Middle East based aircraft owners engaged in horse-racing and headed for Newmarket. Clientele include the leading thoroughbred stables, notably Godolphin and Darley Studs and most recently the new Qatari racing stable Al Shaqab Racing. Marshall has flexible hangarage space on offer to lease along with parking suitable for the predominantly larger ME based jets at a cost notably lower than at other London-centric airports.
Marshall Aviation Services managing director Steve Jones, who previously spent three years as general manager of Al Bateen Executive Airport, heads up Marshall Aviation Services' presence at MEBA, together with James Dillon-Godfray, vp business development and Jason Davies, general manager of the business' Broughton, UK facility.
