London Executive Aviation (Stapleford) will rebrand as Luxaviation UK (LNX, Stapleford) in the coming weeks. The move comes two years after Luxembourg-based business aviation conglomerate Luxaviation (LXA, Luxembourg) acquired a 70% stake in LEA.

"The next stage of LEA’s journey, as we change our name to Luxaviation UK, will help us benefit from the Group’s global portfolio and help us to strengthen the UK’s business aviation industry by bringing economies of scale to the market," Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, chief executive, LEA said.

LEA operates a large and diverse fleet of twenty-four light, midsize and large-cabin aircraft including the Embraer Legacy 600/650, the Falcon 2000EX/EASY/LX, the Challenger 300, the Cessna 550/551/552 and Cessna 560 XL/XLS, the Cessna 510, the E505 Phenom 300, and the Beech (twin turboprop) King Air 200.
