UK-based Focus Air Charter will be opening a new office in Orlando, Florida, within weeks. It will be the company's first overseas office.

Nick Weston, md, says: "Broker aircraft sales in the U.S. are increasing and it is the right time to open an office. We will work with U.S. brokers to help service their clients' needs that involve Europe and with them to service our European clients' needs that involve the U.S."

Weston Air International, parent company of Focus, set up as an cargo and passenger charter brokerage offering aviation consultancy. Focus evolved from a demand for a dedicated broker-provider of aircraft charter. Focus's sister company Midwest Executive Aviation runs four FBO operations in the U.K.
