Oxford set to become home to engineering jobs - 09-05-2008 - 18:02
Oxford set to become home to engineering jobs Engineering jobs could become available in Oxford after its airport became the new base for fixed wing maintenance operations.

PremAir has announced it is to move from Blackbushe airport in Surrey to its new home in September.

An authorised service centre, it will continue work on Hawler beechcraft business aircraft in Oxford once it completes the relocation.

David McRobert, the managing director of PremAir, explained the move to a new hangar at Oxford airport had been agreed after Blackbushe became too short on capacity to provide for the company's growing maintenance operations.

He added: "It was therefore logical to find a new base for our fixed wing business and thereby create much needed space for further helicopter maintenance activity. We found the ideal solution at Oxford."

PremAir's move to enhance its production comes after the Conservatives announced they are to work with Rolls-Royce to stimulate the manufacturing sector.

The political party is looking at ways it could reinvigorate the sector as a whole, should it take power after the next general election.
