A senior group of executives from Avfuel Corporation has described Woodgate Aviation's new 33,000 sq ft hangar in Northern Ireland as 'an outstanding statement of quality and confidence' in the future.

On their first visit to the state-of-the-art hangar at Belfast International Airport, the Avfuel executives were given a guided tour of the new facility which is already utilising all available floorspace.

Woodgate recently joined the Avfuel network which it sees as strategically important as it handles increased levels of traffic.

The Avfuel group was made up of Joel Hirst, vice president sales; Jon Boyle, vice president contract fuel and Ryan Hogg, operations manager. They were briefed by Woodgate general manager, David Shaw, who said the partnership with Avfuel completed an important part of the company's development plan.

Afterwards, Mr Hirst said: "My colleagues and I were hugely impressed. Everything at the hangar makes a statement about quality and a commitment to the customer.

"From the terrazzo flooring, to the luxurious washrooms, crew facilities and environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient measures, this hangar ticks all the boxes. It is an outstanding statement of quality and confidence in the future, and we will be right alongside this progressive company to help it expand and grow."

Mr Shaw said: "Since becoming fully operational at the hangar, we've seen an increase in business right across all of our disciplines including charter, contract, aircraft management, handling, maintenance and parts.

"We were delighted that Avfuel Corporation took the time to visit us. We talk with some enthusiasm about what we have, the only hangar on the airfield, but it's only when people see it at first hand that they appreciate what we've done, and what we want to achieve."
