Inflite the Jet Centre Wins BACA Excellence Award

Stansted VIP handling agent Inflite the Jet Centre has received a top industry award for the second consecutive year.

Inflite the Jet Centre was named best handling agent at the Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA) Luncheon Awards held at London’s Guildhall. The annual awards are voted for by BACA’s members, which include air brokers, airports, business aircraft operators and owners.

Penny-Annette Stephens, director of Inflite, was presented with the trophy by Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, who sponsored the Best Handling Agent 2010 award.

Inflite was against high-caliber competitors. To win this award was a milestone for the family-run company.

Stephens thanked all at Inflite for their hard work and the voters for their support throughout the year. BACA members represent the elite of Inflite's trade, and to be voted FBO of the Year by them for the second year running is the highest accolade, she said.

Stansted Airport came out on top at the awards because Inflite won, and Titan Airways, based at Stansted Airport, was named Best Passenger Charter Airline for the third time in five years. The airport remained open during the recent winter storms while several other airports were affected.

Inflite, the longest-standing FBO at Stansted, has grown over the year with the launch of a new 53,000 square foot hangar, making a total of four heated hangars on the airport.
