Marshall Aerospace launches JETability.

Friday 30th November 2012

Marshall Aerospace has launched JETability, a business aviation solution that combines the resources of one of the largest and longest-established aerospace companies in Europe into a customer-focused, 'one call, one team' centre-of-excellence for the business aviation sector.

Serving the needs of private owners and corporations alike, the services available from and through JETability (www.jetability.com) include Aircraft Management, Maintenance, MRO, Chartering, Sales, Concierge and Consultancy; all available through a bespoke call centre.

Steve Fitz-Gerald, CEO of Marshall Aerospace, comments: "JETability is our commitment to develop further business aviation in Cambridge, expand our portfolio of services and develop a top-ranked FBO in conjunction with our partner ExecuJet."

The JETability brand was unveiled at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London on 30th November, and will operate under the leadership of Steve Jones; who has overall responsibility for Business Aviation across the Marshall Group.

JETability also represents Marshall Aerospace's move into aircraft sales and acquisitions; of business jets and turboprops. This side of the business will be led by recently appointed Sales Director Howard Povey, who brings 25 years' worth of professional aviation experience (gained from Hawker Beechcraft, Raytheon Aircraft Company and BAE Systems) to JETability.

JETability is able to guide and support customers through their next aircraft transaction. Acquisitions will be underpinned by JETability's comprehensive processes, including inspections and background checks in the case of pre-owned aircraft, and owners wishing to sell aircraft will benefit greatly from JETability's fresh and energetic go-to-market strategy.

Robert Marshall, Marshall Group Chief Executive, concludes: "We are delighted to introduce our new and exciting JETability brand. It builds on the remarkable achievements of Marshall Aerospace and is a perfect blend of existing and new customer-focussed services. Moreover, JETability joins an exclusive and elite club of Business Aviation solution providers that can offer a full range of services by drawing on Marshall's extensive resources and capabilities."
