Weston Aviation has opened up a new FBO in Cork, Ireland. It is the fifth FBO to be added to the company’s European network.

The new Business Aviation Centre features hangar and office space capable of accommodating aircraft up to super mid-size jets.

In charge of the operation as managing director Ireland is Helene Wall-Horan. Heading up the FBO team as station manager is Paul Daly, who has 12 years’ experience at Cork Airport; five of those co-ordinating the executive ground handling team for Servisair/Swissport.

As this is the only purpose built FBO facility at Cork, Weston Aviation is very excited about opening the business aviation centre at the airport and the possibility of attracting more dedicated business aviation flights to Cork.

“This new Business Aviation Centre is something that Cork Airport has needed for many years and now with the added support of the existing Weston Aviation network, we are confident that we will establish our new facility and Cork Airport as a major business aviation airport of choice.”

Helene Wall-Horan said: “This new Business Aviation Centre is something that Cork Airport has needed for many years and now with the added support of the existing Weston Aviation network, we are confident that we will establish our new facility and Cork Airport as a major business aviation airport of choice. With our own hangar facility dedicated to business jets, Weston Aviation at Cork Airport will become the premier business airport in Ireland.”

Nick Weston, CEO of Weston Aviation added: “We are delighted to have expanded our FBO network to Ireland and also into Europe, making the company now truly international and this will also be a stepping stone for usto continue our expansion and growth of the company, not only with FBO services but into other areas of aviation and ground support.”
