LOOP News 10 APR 08: CESSNA UK PRESENCE BACK UP TO FULL STRENGTHScores of CSE staff were made redundant in February after CSE’s parent failed to agree terms with the new owners of Oxford airport. That meant the Cessna sales arm, one of only two Cessna Sales Team Authorised Representatives in the UK would also close. But Patriot Aviation has stepped in and snapped up the entire sales operation. Patriot has moved CSE and staff to its well-established Cranfield base. Alongside Wycombe, they are the only two authorised Cessna sales agents operation in the UK. Patriot Aviation is already the Bell Helicopter distributor for the UK, and this move brings together the two Textron-owned brands under one roof. Patriot also has engineering, flight training and charter interests. Patriot’s chairman, leading entrepreneur Sir Peter Rigby, said: “We are delighted to represent Cessna in the UK around its superb range of single-engine aircraft, including the new high speed 350/400 models. “We have already placed orders with Cessna for some 40 aircraft to the value of $27 million to keep customer lead times on new aircraft to a minimum.” One of Cessna’s bosses, Roger Whyte, who is senior vice president of sales and marketing said: “We are delighted that CSE will continue to build and extend on its long established relationship with Cessna under Sir Peter’s leadership.” The name CSE will remain and will handle all piston-engine Cessnas from the Sky- Catcher up to the 206 and 350/400 models.
