Cruising on solid plans for growth

The Times

For those well-heeled or successful enough to fly by business or private jet, the travelling is almost as important as the arrival.

The quality of the service that high-end flyers expect at the airport and on board explains why BBA Aviation is preparing to introduce its “Elite” product, under which passengers on commercial flights are met, transported by private car to their hotel and reacquainted with their luggage.

Elite was one of a series of growth initiatives that BBA Aviation laid before investors yesterday at a capital markets day that also featured expansion plans for Signature, its fuelling and flight services operation, and Ontic, the acquisitive division that supplies and replaces parts for aircraft including the Boeing 747 and the B52 military bomber.
