About Weston Aviation
Weston Aviation opened its FBO at Gloucestershire Airport in 2019, bringing professional business aviation handling to an airfield that serves the Cheltenham and Gloucester area. The facility is located within the main terminal building and offers crew and passenger lounge areas with direct ramp access for both passengers and vehicles. The FBO and ramp sit immediately adjacent to the airport entrance gate, and the M5 motorway is reachable within five minutes of leaving the airport, making ground connections to Bristol, the Cotswolds, and the wider southwest of England fast and practical. Weston provides Jet A1 and AVGAS fueling, hangarage for visiting aircraft, and a private ramp area separated from general airport traffic. Passenger amenities include a comfortable lounge, complimentary WiFi, VIP catering arrangements, and chauffeur transport coordination. The facility also handles cargo, military flights, and PETS Travel Scheme arrivals. Standard FBO hours run from 08:00 to 18:00, with out-of-hours service available on request for early or late flights. Gloucestershire Airport is a popular choice for charter passengers visiting Cheltenham (particularly during the annual racing festival), the Cotswolds, or the Forest of Dean. The airport's smaller size means there is virtually no queuing or congestion. Weston Aviation is one of the larger FBO networks in the UK and Ireland, operating five locations in total, and brings consistent service standards to each site. For passengers who want a low-hassle alternative to the major London airports when heading to the southwest, this is a strong option.
