Apple Aviation new base at Newquay Cornwall Airport

Apple Aviation, the UK-based aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company, has selected Aerohub Newquay Cornwall Airport as the location for its aerospace maintenance facility headquarters.
AA currently operates at Manchester, East Midlands, London Heathrow, Paris and Brussels as well as Airports in the Middle East and Asia. The new facility, within the airport’s Enterprise Zone, will consist of a new 35,000 square foot hangar, capable of accommodating two narrow body or one wide body aircraft and offering a large, bespoke space for AA’s increased operations.
With clients including Lessors, Thomas Cook, Thales, DHL, ILFC, BMI Regional and American Airlines, Apple Aviation brings an ever growing concentration of aerospace companies to Aerohub. The company plans to employ up to 30 highly skilled employees, including aircraft engineers, in the first three years of operation.
Commercial director of Apple Aviation, Bernard Longman, said: “Newquay has been selected as the site for our new MRO facility due to the excellent infrastructure which the airport has to offer plus the benefits of developing our new business venture within the Enterprise zone. AA will provide the airport with a wide range of line and base maintenance capabilities which will benefit current and new airlines operating into and from NQY.”
