Weston Aviation furthers UK and European expansion in 2012

Weston Aviation, the UK based Business Aviation and FBO development specialist is taking the opportunity at Business Airports World Expo (BAWE) in Cannes, France (February 22nd-23rd) to take its services to Europe, with particular interest in France as a first European move. As part of its continued growth the company is also anticipating further UK FBO additions and acquisitions in 2012, to add to its three own branded existing locations of Durham Tees Valley, Newquay Cornwall and Humberside Airports.

Weston Aviation, launched in 1996, offers a unique and fresh approach to the traditional operation of an FBO, by offering a one stop shop for all business aviation and charter services with an emphasis on regional sales generation for the use of business aviation at their airport locations.

“The move into Europe is our next logical step,” points out Managing Director, Nick Weston. “We have successfully grown and developed our Newquay Cornwall and Durham Tees Valley Business Aviation Centres over the past eight years and we are already seeing excellent results at our latest venture at Humberside Airport since opening in May 2011. Traditional, reactive FBO business models are now old and tired and unchanged for many years. What we offer our partner airports is a new and fresh proactive approach offering localised charter sales and aviation development as well as driving targeted traffic to our locations for both existing operators and new users of chartered business aircraft.”

The company is also working with a number of airports that either operate their own FBO services in-house or have a resident FBO company in place to provide assistance and strategy planning for business aviation development and consultancy.

Nick Weston and Amanda Clark from Weston Aviation will be representing the company and its services at BAWE this month in Cannes and will be keen to meet up with any airport companies at the event that would be interested in speaking further with Weston Aviation to provide its services at their airports in the UK and Europe.
