Weston Aviation Anticipate Increased Demand for the Cheltenham Festival Week

Weston Aviation are anticipating an increase in visiting aircraft during The Cheltenham Festival Week. The annual event is the highlight of the Cheltenham racing calendar that runs between 10th – 13th March 2020 and culminates with Gold Cup, the most prestigious race on the final day of The Festival. Weston Aviation is the preferred FBO service provider for Gloucestershire Airport (GLO/EGBJ) and only 15 minutes from the racecourse.

Nicole O’Connor, Business Development Manager for Weston Aviation commented, “We opened the FBO facility with hangar and private ramp less than 3 months before The Festival in 2019. A year on, the services and facilities have been considerably improved and we have established a great network of clients and passengers so we are anticipating a growth on movements based on the bookings already confirmed, which are ahead of last year.”

Gloucestershire Airport imposes a slot allocation for all aircraft due to the high demand for handling and parking throughout the week, O’Connor and the team highly recommend early bookings to ensure slot allocation and extension requests can be secured.
