BBA Aviation - First Half Results Interview With CEO

LONDON, August 5, 2010 - BBA Aviation, the FTSE 250 flight services and aftermarket support
company, announced a 17 per cent increase in underlying pre-tax profits to
GBP45.1m in the first half, following eight months of continuing improvement
in the business and general aviation markets.

In an interview on www.cantos.com, Simon Pryce, CEO, said profit
growth outstripped revenue growth of 3%, which he attributed to the
operational measures introduced during the downturn.

"I think as we exit the first half BBA Aviation continues to trade very
well," he said. "We've done an awful lot of strategic focus and operational
improvement in the last two or three years that has really set up the
businesses well to benefit, probably better than ever, from the very exciting
growth prospects that we see ahead of us."

Also available, live analyst webcast at 0900BST with on-demand replay
available later in the day.
