for growth here that is unique within the UK aviation sector"

"The Birmingham Airport management team has demonstrated
their commitment to developing a world-class airport, targeting
unrivalled levels of customer service while being sensitive to the
needs of the community. Platinum Fuels share similar ideals and
we are delighted that our inaugural operating facility in the UK has
been launched at such a high-profile and forward-thinking airport"

Rob Cooke, the Airport's Head of Aerodrome Operations, said,
"The arrival of Platinum Fuels into Birmingham gives more choice
to airlines and offers a high quality product with competitive
pricing. With the forecast growth expected at Birmingham
in the coming years, particularly in the long haul market,
we expect Platinum Fuels to have a successful operation
and we're proud to be the UK launch pad for the company"
