BBA Group has separated its Oxford-based piston aircraft sales and support operation from its Signature Flight Support operations in the UK and France. On January 1 this business reverted to its former name, CSE Aviation, having previously been rebranded as Signature Aircraft Engineering.

CSE managing director Steve Jones said that a new customer-service group has been established to streamline customer access to its maintenance capability. This includes piston engine and airframe repair and overhauls, as well as an avionics shop. The group’s center of excellence for Citation maintenance will continue to be its CSE Aviation sister company at Bournemouth Airport on the south coast of England. However, CSE at Oxford does have the capability to provide line repairs to visiting business jets.
