Blackpool Council owns the airport having purchased it from Balfour Beatty in September 2017
Extensive plans for five new hangars at Blackpool Airport have been made public. If successful, the plans would be the first new developments at the airport in more than 15 years.
The application also includes a new road off Amy Johnson Way to access both sets of hangars, plus a small 6,000 sq. ft commercial business unit fronting Amy Johnson Way opposite Chorley Group garages. The development of the new Airport East hangars signals a period of regeneration for the airport and surrounding land, as part of the main Blackpool Airport Enterprise Zone masterplan.
Cllr Gillian Campbell, chair of the board at Blackpool Airport Operations, said: “This is a major step forward for our historic airport. For over 100 years Blackpool Airport has been a huge part of our local area and economy. It is a mammoth task to redevelop it while also keeping it open for our customers, but we will make it work.
Cllr Mark Smith, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Levelling Up , at Blackpool Council, said: “We’re working hard to make sure that we can support an airport that is commercially successful and a leading transport hub. To make that happen, we must invest, but we also must make sure that the airport land uses its full potential.
