May 18, 2017

Aviation, travel and transport PR specialist 80:20 Communications is celebrating its appointment by London Biggin Hill Airport, the only dedicated business aviation airport in the capital, on an international trade and corporate PR brief.

Situated a convenient 12 miles from central London, Biggin Hill provides specialist aviation services to predominantly the business market, including award-winning VIP handling, a choice of FBOs, extensive hangarage, support and maintenance. A designated UK Port of Entry, Biggin Hill is free of runway slot constraints and, with an exclusive six-minute helicopter transfer service to and from the heart of London, offers the fastest transfer of any London airport.

80:20 Communications will promote Biggin Hill to business aviation and corporate travel audiences, positioning it as the capital's premier business aviation airport of the future. The agency will help highlight Biggin Hill's extended operating hours, current and forthcoming expansions and attractiveness as a location for aviation maintenance businesses.

Marc Cornelius, founder and managing director, 80:20 Communications, says: “Britain's building of new trading relationships post-Brexit will make it vital for London to be accessible to global decision makers. Biggin Hill's newly extended opening hours, major investment programme and helicopter shuttle to central London make it a natural VIP gateway to the capital. With its ample construction space, Biggin Hill is also emerging as a preferred base for aviation maintenance businesses to locate, creating a new centre of skilled employment and export earner for the UK. We're very excited to help tell Biggin Hill's story at this crucial stage in its growth.”

Andy Patsalides, marketing manager, London Biggin Hill says: “We are pleased be working with a PR firm that has extensive knowledge and experience of the business aviation industry and who truly understand what we are trying to achieve. We believe 80:20 are ideally placed to deliver on an ambitious PR campaign that will support our further growth going forward.”
