Universal Aviation in Europe reports that it increased market share in 2009.

Universal Aviation's Paris FBO, which has provided "business as usual" services for weeks despite serious fire damage, is on track to operate from fully restored facilities in April. Sandrine Jackson, manager Universal Aviation, Paris, says: "The operations office and the main lobby suffered the greatest damage in the January fire with no damage to the hangar or upstairs offices. The facility continued to handle flights and performed standard day-to-day operations throughout the ordeal, immediately setting up a back-up operations office, re-establishing phone and computer connectivity within 48 hours and soliciting the support of 'neighbours' and the local airport authority to ensure clients' needs continued to be met despite the facility's damage."

Universal Weather and Aviation is developing and expanding its services in Europe, with a view to boosting its presence at key locations.
