Robin Hood Airport announce expansion plans
31.10.08
Robin Hood Airport has revealed plans to expand as part of their vision for the future. Airport owner Peel Airports has announced that the airport could undergo a substantial expansion in a bid to attract an increasing number of business and leisure travellers to the region.
In its Draft Masterplan, the airport say they expect 6.6 million passengers to use the hub by 2016 and forecast the figure to rise to 10.8 million by 2030. Neil Pakey, deputy chief executive of Peel Airports, believes that Robin Hood Airport will reach these targets despite environmental concerns and the fact the aviation industry has been hit hard by the global economic downturn.
He said: ‘We believe these proposals provide a balance between the clear economic benefits of further airport expansion and the inevitable environmental impacts which must be managed by the airport company.'
