Cambridge, UK-based Marshall Aviation Services (MAS, Stand 505) is exhibiting at MEBA for the first time, showcasing its wide portfolio of business aviation services. These range from extensive engineering and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities to aircraft management/charter (through the FlairJet brand) and aircraft brokerage (through the JETability brand).
  
MAS was established as part of the Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group to offer a full spectrum of business aviation services, along with management of Cambridge International Airport, a popular destination for many business/VIP travellers, but particularly those with interests in the Newmarket horse-racing scene.
  
Marshall’s engineering expertise has resulted in the company becoming a major MRO organization, notably for the Cessna Citation and Bombardier Global Express, but also covering other aircraft types. The engineering of bespoke upgrades has been a historical strong point of the company for many years.
  
In September 2013 Marshall acquired Beechcraft’s Broughton facility and it is now the main MRO center for Hawker business jets and Beechcraft turboprops. Many Middle Eastern operators use the Broughton facility for servicing their Hawker and Beechcraft aircraft. Marshall is also the sales representative for King Air aircraft in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia.
  
“Our heritage in refurbishment, re-finishing, upgrade and support of aircraft of all sizes is excellent,” said MAS v-p business development James Dillon-Godfray. “There is a clear demand in the EMEA region for our services and we are working on some exciting projects.”
