ExecuJet Europe is extending its line maintenance services at the company's fixed-based operation (FBO) at Cambridge airport during the London Olympic period of July 27-August 12.

The business aviation services company is locating additional engineering resources at Cambridge for the duration of the Olympics, enabling ExecuJet to support the Bombardier Global family, Learjet 40/45 series and Challenger 300, as well as Gulfstream and Dassault Falcon business jets.

Marshall Aerospace, operators of Cambridge airport, will offer line maintenance services as usual on the majority of Cessna aircraft, while ExecuJet's in-house maintenance management team will be able to source third-party support for other aircraft types.

ExecuJet Europe's managing director Cedric Migeon says: "We are already experiencing an increase in handling requests throughout the Olympic period. As Cambridge airport is located just outside London's restricted air zone, it is a convenient alternative to avoid central London's busy airspace. We are therefore ensuring we offer comprehensive maintenance support services during this time to support the demand from our customers without them having to reposition to another airport."

The ExecuJet FBO will offer 24/7 slot allocation during the Olympic period, and will operate on a round-the-clock basis from July 26-August 13.
