High Flyers Gather at Blackpool Airport High flyers gather at Blackpool Airport LANCASHIRE members of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport enjoyed a fascinating insight into Blackpool Airport during a visit led by the Airport Director, Paul Rankin and the Corporate Affairs Manager, Sue Kendrick. Members were invited to learn more about the airport for Lancashire and the Lake District including its history, services and plans for the future. Delegates from around the North West represented leading companies and public sector organisations such as Fagan and Whalley in Padiham, BAE Systems, Lancaster City Council, Arriva Merseyside Ltd and Warrant Group in Liverpool. Richard Blaikie, Chairman of the Lancashire Group of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, said: “The visit to Blackpool Airport was the first of our 2012/13 monthly programme of educational and interesting best practice events for logistics and transport professionals living and working across the county. It was a major success with very positive feedback from all those who attended.” These sentiments were reiterated by Gavin Shannon, Chairman of the North West Region of the CILT, who said: “Paul Rankin’s insight into the many opportunities and challenges within the aviation sector that impact on the daily operation and the strategic direction the team are striving to take the airport, provided a very frank, honest and passionate presentation demonstrating that Lancashire and the Lake District’s airport at Blackpool is in safe hands for years to come.” Sue Kendrick, Corporate Affairs Manager at Blackpool Airport, added: “We were delighted to welcome members of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport at Blackpool Airport and the evening was a resounding success.’’ CILT member Andy Simpson, Supply Chain Director at Warrant Group, said: “It was interesting to learn more about Blackpool Airport and its focus as the airport for Lancashire and the Lake District. The airport was a great venue to meet fellow CILT members and discuss issues effecting businesses and organisations in our sector.” Blackpool Airport offers fast, efficient commuter services to Ireland and the Isle of Man for the business community and attractive sunshine destinations and scheduled flights for short breaks and holidays. The airport also provides Corporate and General Aviation services for the private sector including flying schools, airport taxi services and private flight services.

  • SUBMISSION of MARTIN EVANS to the PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE of the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background
    SUBMISSION OF MARTIN EVANS TO THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background Martin Evans is a Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. In 2008, working with the Wales Transport Research Centre at the University and Halcrow, he undertook the first year monitoring report of the Cardiff/Anglesey air service on behalf of the Welsh Government. No further monitoring reports have been published by the Welsh Government. Introduction The possibility of Welsh internal air services was proposed in „The Future of Air Transport - Wales‟ White Paper published by the UK Department for Transport in 2003. A feasibility study was undertaken by The Welsh Government and published in the form of a consultation in 2004. The consultation document examined the feasibility of a number of different networks for Welsh internal air services and the level of investment required for the necessary infrastructure. There are no internal air routes in Wales that would be viable if operated on a commercial basis. The Welsh Government acquired the powers to fund internal air services under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) in the Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The conditions to be followed in funding a PSO route are set out in Article 16 of the Air Services Regulations 1008/2008 of the European Union. “3. The necessity and the adequacy of an envisaged public service obligation shall be assessed by the Member State(s) having regard to: a) the proportionality between the envisaged obligation and the economic needs of the region concerned; b) the possibility of having recourse to other modes of transport and the ability of such modes to meet the transport needs under consideration, in particular when existing rail services serve the envisaged route with a travel time of less than three hours and with sufficient frequencies, connections and suitable timings; c) the air fares and conditions which can be quoted to users; d) the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route.

  • Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone: Update
    Report to: Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Economic Prosperity Board Report Author: Rob Green, Head of Enterprise Zones, Blackpool Council Date of Meeting: 25 March 2021 BLACKPOOL AIRPORT ENTERPRISE ZONE: UPDATE 1.0 Purpose of the report: 1.1 To review the work of the Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone and its future work and priorities against its role and remit. 2.0 Recommendation(s) 2.1 To note the report. 3.0 Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone: Progress Report a) Masterplan The Enterprise Zone masterplan and delivery plans have now been refreshed to reflect the new development since 2016. The updated reports were presented to Blackpool’s Executive and approved in December 2020 reflecting the impact of changes in third party ownership across the site, requirements for changes required to satisfy Sport England and address Highway and transportation concerns. An online public consultation is to be undertaken in respect of the refreshed masterplan and the supporting written document, with any significant amendments as a result of feedback reported back to Blackpool Council, the Economic Prosperity Board and Local Enterprise Partnership for endorsement. This consultation will be run in parallel with a pre-application consultation on the third Common Edge planning application, which will cover the new Highways and the development of the former sports pitches. Timing will be dependent upon on restrictions prior to the local elections in May. The updated delivery plan estimates expenditure on infrastructure and delivery of the Enterprise Zone at £72m, which equates to £14,500 per job. With the benefit of a grant funding allocation of £7.5m secured from the Towns Fund as part of Blackpool’s Town Deal, the financial projections indicate a small forecast surplus over the lifetime of the project after the cost of Prudential Borrowing.

  • Media Release – Embargoed Until 0600 15Th May, 2006
    11th May 2005 Media Release – embargoed until 0600 15th May, 2006 New local airline for the Isle of Man The Isle Of Man’s air links are set to be boosted with the launch of a new local airline. Manx2 is registered in the Isle of Man and based at the airport and is committed to providing year round air links for both business and leisure customers. This summer it will be launching three routes from the Isle of Man to Leeds Bradford, Blackpool and Belfast International Airports. The airline is the brainchild of two aviation entrepreneurs with long experience of operating regional airlines for Island based communities. Noel Hayes and James Filleul set up and ran Rockhopper (recently rebranded to Blue Islands – see ‘profiles’ below for more details) and last year flew more than fifty thousand passengers on nine routes to and from the Channel Islands. Manx2’s services to Belfast and Blackpool will be launched on 15th July, with flights to Leeds Bradford following on 12th August. Bookings can be made through its website, manx2.com from the beginning of June, and by telephone through Manx2’s reservations centre on 0870 2422226 from the same time. Manx2 will be operating a fleet of 19-seat aircraft which are specifically designed for making short, frequent flights to neighbouring regional airports. The aircraft will all carry the company’s motto “Failt erriu - You’re welcome”. “Having secure long term transport links is essential for Island communities, and we have many years experience in building strong routes which will serve local people all year round”, says Noel Hayes, Manx2’s Chairman.

  • A Review of Cardiff Airport's Performance And
    Y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus / Public Accounts Committee PAC(5)-08-20 P2 BRIEFING PAPER A REVIEW OF CARDIFF AIRPORT’S PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT UK REGIONAL AIRPORT ECONOMICS Prepared by February 2020 Contents 1 Introduction 2 Historical Perspectives 3 Recent Achievements 4 Benchmarking Financial Performance 5 Future Plans, Ambitions and Ownership 6 Conclusions Executive Summary I This paper was commissioned by Cardiff International Airport Ltd (CIAL) from Northpoint Aviation, in order to provide independent expert evidence with which to: Apprise CIAL’s Board and the Airport’s shareholder about a number of matters relating to the Airport that have arisen in the public domain; address the ongoing close scrutiny of its performance (and its public ownership by the Welsh Government), by Welsh Assembly committees and members, and respond to the significant interest shown by other strategic stakeholders, including local MPs, the media and Welsh taxpayers. II It will also help to inform CIAL’s representations to the impending UK Government Regional Aviation Review and ongoing discussions between the Welsh Government and the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales, HM Treasury and DfT about the devolution of APD to Wales, route development from Cardiff and other initiatives which may contribute to maximising the connectivity and economic value of the Airport to Wales. Introduction III The paper provides an overview of Cardiff Airport’s recent performance under CIAL and compares it with that under its previous owners Abertis Infraestructuras, S.A; it also benchmarks Cardiff relative to peer airports elsewhere in the UK over the last 10-15 years with a view to: Measuring Cardiff’s outputs against both the best and worst in class; explaining the factors in Wales that impact significantly upon that analysis (e.g.

  • Regional Airports
    Aviation: regional airports Standard Note: SN323 Last updated: 6 March 2014 Author: Louise Butcher Section Business and Transport This note looks at airport development in the UK, outside London and the South East of England, under the present and previous governments, including the December 2013 interim report from the Airports Commission. The Labour Government’s 2003 aviation White Paper generally supported a ‘predict and provide’ approach to aviation. It envisioned demand for air transport increasing over the following 25 years. Consequently, it generally supported the growth of regional airports outside the South East to grow those economies and divert flights away from the congested London area. The Coalition Government published its Aviation Policy Framework in March 2013 – this is largely a collection of technical changes that could be made to airports to increase capacity, improve efficiency and ensure that aviation growth in the UK is sustainable in terms of noise and environmental pollution. The Airports Commission, under the chairmanship of Sir Howard Davies, was set up in September 2012 and tasked with making recommendations as to the timing and scale of any future airport capacity. It will not publish its final report and recommendations until after the 2015 General Election but in December 2013 it published an interim report indicating that demand would increase in London and the South East and that no regional airport option could replace the need for existing capacity in that area. Information on airports in the South East and London generally can be found in HC Library Note SN2893; and there are a separate notes on London Heathrow, SN1136, and proposals for a Thames Estuary airport, SN6144.
