Marshall Aviation Adds Birmingham to UK FBO Network

Marshall Aviation Services, a subsidiary of British aviation consortium Marshall Aerospace and Defense Group, has been awarded a 20-year lease to operate the former Euro Jet FBO at the UK's Birmingham Airport. According to a company spokesman, the new Marshall location is undergoing refurbishment and will begin handling aircraft in late February, with full service available starting in March.

The glass-fronted 44,000-sq-ft facility includes 27,000 sq ft of available hangar space for based and transient aircraft up to a Bombardier Global. The company’s aircraft charter and management division will also have a presence there.

Birmingham is England’s second most visited city after London, and its airport  offers a 10,000-foot runway, ample apron parking and a location that is just minutes away from the National Exhibition Centre and a new $200 million casino complex currently under development. The site marks Marshall’s fourth FBO in the UK, joining Cambridge, Oxford and Broughton.
