Rigby Group comprises six key divisions: Aviation (British International Helicopters and Capital Air Ambulance), Technology (SCC – Europe’s largest independent IT services business), Airports (XLR Jet Centres, Regional & City Airports, Norwich Airport, Bournemouth Airport, Exeter Airport and Coventry Airport), Hotels (the Eden Hotel Collection), Real Estate (Rigby & Rigby super prime property development, Rigby Group Real Estate and Imperial Park, Coventry) and Finance (Rigby Private Equity, Rigby Technology Investments and Rigby Capital).
Airports
Regional & City Airports (RCA) owns and operates Norwich Airport, Exeter Airport, Coventry Airport and recent acquisition Bournemouth Airport, as well as holding management contracts for Blackpool International Airport, Solent Airport (Daedalus) and City of Derry Airport.
RCA has built a reputation as an efficient and safe commercial airports operator, driving improvements to route development, commercial revenues, operating costs and capital investment to deliver a consistently sound commercial return. Already employing more than 550 people, RCA is on its way to becoming a leading player in the regional airport sector and is taking advantage of the lack of capacity at major hub airports in the UK to demonstrate how regional airports can ease the strain.
