The Marshall Airport Cambridge has been awarded the highly prestigious AOPA Sword. The Aerodrome has been judged an outstanding place to visit offering value for money and helpful service. This sword was presented to Mr Michael Marshall, Chairman and Chief Executive of Marshall Holdings Ltd at a ceremony at Cambridge Airport on Thursday 27 August 2009.

Mr Michael Marshall, Chairman and Chief Executive of Marshall of Cambridge Holdings Ltd said, ‘We are honoured and delighted to have been awarded this sword in 2009, which is the Centenary Year of the Company and also the 80th Anniversary of our entry into Aviation. Our aim is to provide outstanding service to our customers throughout all the many businesses within Marshall and I am delighted that the diligent efforts of our employees at the airport have been recognised in this way’.

George Done, Chairman of AOPA said, ‘Many regional airports are now unwelcoming of general aviation aircraft, but Cambridge is unique in that it handles a large amount of General Aviation activity, alongside significant larger aircraft, which includes TriStars, C130 aircraft and other large passenger aircraft being flown in for engineering work by Marshall Aerospace. Marshall Airport Cambridge really deserves this award for being so consistent over a number of years in continuing to offer multi-use operations and for providing such outstanding service’.
