Coventry Airport private jet expansion
09.03.08
Coventry Airport plans to boost the number of private flights it operates. The airport, which witnessed a 35% increase in private jet traffic in 2007, has appointed Blue City Aviation to handle its Fixed Base Operations (FBO) - which covers private jet traffic - with immediate effect.
Blue City Aviation is now responsible for general and business aviation services, from its hub at the western end of the airport. Onward ground transportation, including chauffeur drive and executive car hire, can be organised on request, as well as hotel accommodation for incoming passengers and crew.
Chris Orphanou, Coventry Airport CEO, said: ‘Business aviation is an important and expanding industry. Our business strategy includes bolstering the amount of corporate jet charters, and with our 24/7 availability and close proximity to all the major motorways, we have a real advantage in serving this buoyant market. Our costs are considerably lower than the London business aviation airports too.’
Blue City Aviation has been based at Coventry Airport since 2004, and complementing the handling side is Blue City Engineering, which offers heated and secure hangar facilities at Coventry Airport for visiting private jets. Kevin Perry, the company's managing director, said: ‘We are delighted to handle the FBO facilities at Coventry Airport, extending our existing, excellent working relationship. We are committed to providing customers with the high levels of service and are planning further, enhanced amenities in the immediate future.’
