Aspiring Astronaut Launches Cambridge FBO

Dr. Jaclyn Bell, aspiring astronaut, joined Lady Marshall to officially open Cambridge City Airport's (EGSC) new Jet Centre FBO. Dr. Bell and Lady Marshall, wife of the late Sir Michael Marshall, unveiled a plaque commemorating the occasion, before touring the facility.

The new Cambridge Jet Centre began welcoming executive business customers in November and has undergone major refurbishment over recent months. Investment has provided enhanced facilities for air crew and passengers with early scanning that provides a seamless transition from the welcome desk through the FBO to the executive VIP lounge, which includes modern comfort facilities, complimentary refreshments and new private business center. There is also a conference center for up to 16 delegates, with state-of-the-art AV equipment, and an uninterrupted view across the airfield and Cambridgeshire countryside.

Dr Bell, a leading academic, aviator and astronaut-hopeful, appeared in the BBC's "Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes?" TV show in 2017 and won the coveted Sir Michael Marshall Award for Diversity sponsored by Cambridge City Airport in the Air Charter Association Excellence Awards 2019.
