Unifi expands UK Operations with Ground Handling and Security Contracts at London Oxford

Unifi has secured its first business aviation ground handling contract and its third Fixed Base Operation/FBO security contract in the United Kingdom, marking a major expansion of its services and a new milestone in its global growth. Effective April 15, Unifi takes over ramp handling operations and fuelling services at London Oxford Airport, which is ranked fifth in the UK for business aviation movements.

In addition, effective May 1, Unifi will become the first-ever external company to manage ramp operations at the airport alongside whole airport security, providing 24/7/365 support, including ID center management, access control, visitor and delivery coordination and NASP passenger screening through the airport’s FBO. The airport, owned by the Reuben Brothers, is experiencing strong growth on its on-demand flight operations as it invests in the future, including a £48 million newly commenced construction of its AerOx Science and R&D Park and another 70,000 sq.ft. hangar, No.16.

Unifi UK’s strong local presence and established, trusted relationship with the airport, were key factors in winning the contracts. Up & Away, the aircraft services and executive jet detailing company Unifi purchased in summer 2023, has been providing detailing services at the airport since 2008.

“We are excited to expand our partnership with London Oxford Airport through ground handling and security operations,” said Stefan Murphy, Managing Director Unifi UK and Ireland. “Our team is proud to support the airport’s growth with industry-leading services, in what is a significant step for Unifi as we continue expanding our footprint in the UK.”

To support the ramp and security contract, Unifi will onboard 35 staff for ramp handling and security operations, ensuring seamless service and continuity. Ramp operations will duly be branded ‘London Oxford Airport powered by Unifi.’ The company will also continue providing aircraft detailing services through Up & Away.

“We are pleased to welcome Unifi as our first ever outsourced ground handling partner since launching executive aviation activity (under new ownership) with NASP security compliance (passenger and baggage security screening) in 2008. The move builds on the close working relationship we have enjoyed with Up & Away for 17 years,” said Kris Black, Airport Operations Director at London Oxford Airport. “Their expertise, professionalism and deep understanding of aviation operations is renowned, and we look forward to working together to enhance the overall experience for our customers.”

This expansion underscores Unifi’s continued global growth and its ability to deliver high-quality aviation services across both commercial and private sectors.
