Weston Aviation, the UK- and Ireland-based private and business aviation company, has launched its FBO services at aether – The Private Terminal at Manchester Airport. The company has operated at Manchester since 2019, and this latest development marks the expansion of its offering within the airport.

In association with aether, Weston Aviation now offers exclusive access to one of the most sophisticated aviation terminals in the region for private jet operators and business aviation passengers. The advanced facility is the ideal setting for a convenient, discreet and highly personal service.

“We are thrilled to begin offering our full suite of services at aether, an exceptional facility that aligns perfectly with our market and our commitment to providing outstanding customer care,” says CEO Nick Weston. “Our FBOs and aviation services are designed to provide a hassle-free experience, allowing our customers to focus on what matters most, confident that their travel needs are being handled with care. This collaboration strengthens our position in the market, allowing us to innovate the way we provide our premium service at Manchester Airport.”

aether opened at the end of 2024 and is already in use as a private terminal at the airport. Weston’s transition brings dedicated FBO operations to the facility as demand for private aviation activity continues to grow.

“With its stellar reputation in business aviation and our shared commitment to delivering an effortless airport experience, this collaboration is a natural fit,” comments Marie-Claire Sheedy, partnership manager at aether. “Together, we’re expanding the premium experience available to private aviation customers at Manchester.”

The FBO services are now available, with bookings already accepted for both passengers and operators.
