Following our June 28 report about a change of ownership at the <a href="http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/ainalerts/2013-06-27/new-owner-reopen-stansteds-diamond-hangar-fbo">Diamond Hangar</a> FBO at London Stansted Airport, Mike Foley contacted AIN to explain that he had not, in fact, been managing director of the facility’s former owner, Eighteen Aviation, as the company had previously described him in official statements. Foley said that he had served as a “consultant director” in setting up the FBO before resigning this position last December. He added that his own company is among Eighteen Aviation’s creditors.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
