Flight Pro International has opened an office at Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom. The office is based within the terminal.
FPI increased its UK team in January 2026 by adding Jo Sutherden and Kelly Long, who will operate from the Farnborough office. FPI had increased trip supervisory personnel to the UK team throughout 2024 and 2025.
“Since the year 2020, our UK aviation handling business has experienced year-over-year double-digit growth,” said Alan Owen, senior manager at FPI UK. “We’ve continued to recruit talent to not only sustain our growth, but more importantly to continue increasing the volume of the white glove services that our clients expect.”
The Farnborough office provides support for FPI’s visiting and locally-based clients while building relationships with the airport and its vendors.
Owen said FPI is a service management firm for clients at UK-based airports. “While FBOs and regular handling agents are dealing with numerous flights and related facility issues, the UK team is solely focused on FPI’s clientele aircraft operations,” he said.
Farnborough Airport plans to increase weekend movements. The airport has vendors and engineering support for Gulfstream and Bombardier aircraft.
FPI’s UK headquarters is based in London Luton, and arrangements can be made for FPI’s UK team to cover airports in the Midlands, Scotland and Ireland.
FPI UK services include securing landing slots, flight plan filing and Eurocontrol slot timing adjustments. The company liaises with handling organizations, including off-airport catering, ground transport, hotel and other service vendors. FPI is credentialed for covering the UK Air Passenger Duty tax required for operations into the UK. The company communicates with regulators and the Civil Aviation Authority.
