Up & Away Aviation, a leading supplier of aircraft cleaning and detailing services to commercial airline and private aviation clients, has secured new ownership with Unifi Aviation. Unifi is the USA’s largest ground aviation services company, part of the Argenbright Group.

Unifi, headquartered in Atlanta, GA is present at over 200+ US airports, offering a range of ground services from ticketing and ground handling to cabin cleaning and cargo.
While the Up & Away brand will remain, Stefan Murphy will become Unifi’s Managing Director in the UK. Ernie Patterson, Chairman of International Business for Argenbright Group, will provide additional oversight of Unifi’s UK aviation business, working with Up & Away’s team to broaden operations into more airports, including London Heathrow.
