UK airport goes for Olympic 'gold' by slashing landing fees to luxury jets
Cambridge airport chiefs are going for gold by slashing landing fees for executive jets before the Olympics get underway.
Business aircraft operators flying to the UK for the London 2012 Games are being offered new reduced landing fees of up to 90 per cent, it was announced today.
In a change to a pricing structure which has been in existence for four years, all aircraft handled through the ExecuJet FBO will benefit from the new fee structure.
Effective from July 21, landing fees are being reduced significantly as the expanding airport sets out to entice new users.
Owners The Marshall Group has been launched the move to attract new business and increase jet movements at the airport.
Jon Harper, business aviation chief at the airport, said: “The former pricing policy did not support our long-term strategy, which is to attract a wider base of business aviation clients, continue development of a vibrant aviation hub for the east of England region and be more competitive against the London centric airports.”
The airport is one of five regional airports in the UK capable of accepting business and passenger services with a 24/7 slot allocation during the Olympics.
