Harrods Aviation Joins The Air Elite Network As Network’s First UK-based FBO
/
Harrods Aviation’s Executive FBOs (www.HarrodsAviation.com) are part of the Harrods Group which encompasses several, exclusive, luxury operations including London’s iconic Harrods department store.
Both Luton and Stansted-based FBOs provide convenient access to London and offer both passengers and crew an exceptional attention to detail and world-class service and amenities. Among the amenities offered to passengers are luxurious lounge and washroom facilities, workstations, complimentary refreshments, conference facilities and a select range of Harrods merchandise available for purchase. In addition to this, Harrods offers exclusive VIP lounges for high profile customers or small traveling parties whom require total privacy and discretion during their visit. Beyond the normal crew amenities one would expect from a modern FBO, Harrods Aviation at London Stansted offers crews the use of two private bunk rooms which can be a convenient and cost-effective alternative to a hotel in some instances and Harrods Aviation at London Luton goes above and beyond with its availability of multiple conference meeting rooms and additional security.
In the area of ramp operations, both the London Luton and Stansted locations are able to handle all aspects of aircraft arrival and departure requirements including passenger handling, aircraft ramp and hangar parking, ground support equipment and the arrangement of all third party services. The Luton facility is equipped to handle aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 767, while the Stansted location can handle aircraft as large as a Boeing 747-400.
“With almost two decades of a dedicated, customer service-focused approach to FBO operations, Harrods Aviation fits into the Air Elite Network beautifully. We look forward to working with other like-minded FBOs around the globe to bring strength to the Network while also maintaining the individual flair that sets the Harrods name apart from others in the industry. This relationship is truly a winning combination for Harrods and Air Elite!” said Will Holroyd, Harrods Aviation’s Sales and Marketing Director.
With the addition of Harrods Aviation, the first UK-based Air Elite FBOs, the Air Elite Network now includes 29 FBO locations worldwide. The network was established in late 2011 and each FBO must meet a number of airport, facility and service quality standards to qualify for membership. “We are pleased to add Harrods to our growing network of Elite FBOs worldwide. Each new Air Elite location provides the ability for the to network grow stronger not just in locations served, but through the collaborative efforts of the FBO team members,” stated Michael Clementi, President Aviation, World Fuel Services.
