Britain’s newest FBO, Marshall Business Aviation Centre, has been open for almost five months and is already fulfilling its owner’s hopes of drawing more traffic to Cambridge. The £5 million facility combines a new executive terminal with two adjoining hangars providing more than 50,000 sq ft of space for aircraft maintenance.
The investment by the privately owned Marshall Aerospace (Booth No. 1449) is part of a rebranding exercise through which Cambridge City Airport has been renamed Marshall Airport Cambridge. According to airport director John Watkins, this and the creation of the new Marshall Business Aviation division is part of a concerted effort to demonstrate to the market that the company offers a comprehensive and coherent set of services under one roof.
Alongside the new FBO and Marshall’s maintenance repair and overhaul capability for business aircraft, the new organization also includes charter operator Marshall Executive Aviation and a selection of chauffeured luxury cars provide by the Marshall group’s automobile sales organization. “We hadn’t previously addressed the way business aviation has been changing and the need for a more bespoke level of service covering all aspects of handling,” said Allan McGreal, head of Marshall Business Aviation.
