This week has seen London Biggin Hill welcome two new arrivals.
Air Charter Scotland
Headquartered in Glasgow and with a base at London Luton Airport, private jet operator and aircraft management company, Air Charter Scotland, is now expanding its London presence by adding a Cessna Citation M525 (G-KSOH) on to its UK AOC, based out of London Biggin Hill Airport.
The management of the six-passenger light jet will be overseen by Jet Agent, the Biggin-based aircraft sales, management and acquisitions specialist and the intention is to place more aircraft with Air Charter Scotland under charter this year.
“Thanks to this strategic new partnership, we are pleased to add a second London home at Biggin Hill Airport and base aircraft, complementing our established London Luton (Signature Aviation) base,” said Derek Thomson, COO of Air Charter Scotland. “London Biggin Hill is well located for London and is increasingly popular as a dedicated business aviation airport,” he added.
Meanwhile, Robert Walters, Commercial Director at London Biggin Hill Airport said, “Air Charter Scotland’s choice of London Biggin Hill to strengthen its connection to the capital reflects the calibre of our service and the importance of our location to growing businesses.”
Echelon Air
This week has also seen the London business aviation airport airport welcome flight training, aircraft sales and management company, Echelon Air.
A recently registered Declared Training Organization (DTO), Echelon Air provides extensive flight training courses in Cirrus Aircraft, along with on-site use of its certified Cirrus G6 Flight1 Tech Simulator. Commenting on the training organisation’s new home Philippe Polman, Founder of Echelon Air, said: “Having a base at London Biggin Hill Airport is a great step in the development and growth of our business. We now look forward to beginning work in earnest.”
