Houston, TX September 25, 2007 –In the process of acclimating several recent acquisitions under the global APPH corporate umbrella, APPH Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of BBA Aviation, is pleased to announce that its North American facilities will be known as APPH Houston, Inc. and APPH Wichita, Inc.

The locations were previously known as Arnoni Aviation Services Inc. and Airight Inc. respectively. In the interim, these companies took on the name of APPH.
