The BBA Group has added yet another European business aircraft handling operation to its Signature Flight Support chain with the December 8 acquisition of FBO Shannon on the west coast of Ireland. BBA purchased the FBO from its private owners for $3 million (E2.5 million).

FBO Shannon also provides handling at Cork Airport on Ireland’s south coast. In the financial year ending last March 31, it logged revenues of approximately $2.5 million. Its direct competitor at Shannon Airport–a popular transatlantic technical stop–is Ocean Bridge Handling, which Universal Weather & Aviation now owns.
