  • General Aviation Activity and Airport Facilities
    New Hampshire State Airport System Plan Update CHAPTER 2 - AIRPORT SYSTEM INVENTORY 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the existing airport system in New Hampshire as of the end of 2001 and early 2002 and served as the database for the overall System Plan. As such, it was updated throughout the course of the study. This Chapter focuses on the aviation infrastructure that makes up the system of airports in the State, as well as aviation activity, airport facilities, airport financing, airspace and air traffic services, as well as airport access. Chapter 3 discusses the general economic conditions within the regions and municipalities that are served by the airport system. The primary purpose of this data collection and analysis was to provide a comprehensive overview of the aviation system and its key elements. These elements also served as the basis for the subsequent recommendations presented for the airport system. The specific topics covered in this Chapter include: S Data Collection Process S Airport Descriptions S Airport Financing S Airport System Structure S Airspace and Navigational Aids S Capital Improvement Program S Definitions S Scheduled Air Service Summary S Environmental Factors 2.2 DATA COLLECTION PROCESS The data collection was accomplished through a multi-step process that included cataloging existing relevant literature and data, and conducting individual airport surveys and site visits. Division of Aeronautics provided information from their files that included existing airport master plans, FAA Form 5010 Airport Master Records, financial information, and other pertinent data. Two important element of the data collection process included visits to each of the system airports, as well as surveys of airport managers and users.

  • 31, 2014 Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre, Manchester
    39th Annual Conference May 29 – 31, 2014 Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre, Manchester, England Joining instructions Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre Chancellors Way Moseley Road Fallowfield Manchester M14 6NN telephone: +44 (0)161 907 7414 website: http://www.chancellorshotel.co.uk/ Chancellors is located about 3 miles south of Manchester city centre and about 6 miles from Manchester Airport. It is situated between Owens Park and the Armitage Centre (University of Manchester student residences and sports centre respectively), very close to the southern end of the Wilmslow Road/Oxford Road corridor (marked in yellow on the map below). This is one of the main routes into the city centre, along much of which is ranged the University of Manchester and other educational establishments. The section of Wilmslow Road between Dickenson Road and Oxford Place is the famous ‘Curry Mile’, within walking distance of Chancellors, and said to have the largest concentration of South Asian restaurants outside the Indian subcontinent. Travel If you arrive at either Manchester Airport or Manchester Piccadilly rail station, our advice, particularly if you have luggage, is to take a taxi to Chancellors, as there is no direct bus route. There are very frequent trains between the airport and Piccadilly stations, but because Chancellors lies between the two, there is no time advantage in taking a train into the city and then a bus or taxi out again. There is a very regular bus service along Wilmslow Road/Oxford Road to and from the city centre. If you want to take the bus from Chancellors into the city centre, walk from Chancellors to the Wilmslow Road/Moseley Road junction, cross the road, turn right and walk to the first bus stop.

  • Overview of Regional Airports – Maximising the Benefits for Birmingham
    Overview of Regional Airports – Maximising the Benefits for Birmingham A report from Overview & Scrutiny Birmingham City Council, 09 June 2009 Foreword By Cllr Timothy Huxtable Chairman, Regeneration O&S Committee 09 June 2009 In many recent debates at City Council meetings, the important role of transport infrastructure in increasing economic growth, job and wealth creation and investment in Birmingham (and the wider region) has been discussed in great detail. Included in this debate is the importance of Birmingham as a global city and the need for excellent international links. To fulfil the City Council's intention of becoming a truly "global city with a local heart", Birmingham requires world class national and international gateways – Birmingham International Airport being one such gateway. The proposed extension of the runway at Birmingham International Airport will bring many challenges but at the same time should create many opportunities and it is the identification of these opportunities and how they can be maximised for the benefit of Birmingham and its citizens that this report seeks to grasp. These opportunities includes the "economic multiplier" effect to the local economy of encouraging companies and organisations to locate events at the NEC or ICC; the tourists we can attract with the city and region’s varied attractions; and the inward investment that can be secured as a result of quick and easy links to other major business centres. This Overview looks at maximising the benefits for Birmingham of Birmingham International Airport, and in particular Birmingham International Airport and its proposed runway extension. For Birmingham (and the wider region) to capitalise on growth in the global economy and to bring jobs and investment to our city, Birmingham International Airport needs to have a runway capable of making direct connexions to these global growth areas.
