Spat over council’s use of Birmingham Airport
15.06.09
Birmingham Council officials travelling abroad on official business have been criticised for failing to fly from Birmingham Airport, the Post reports. Management at the airport said the city risked sending a ‘mixed message’ by allowing staff to use London airports or Manchester rather than Birmingham.
The rebuke came in evidence to a scrutiny committee investigating Birmingham Airport’s plan for a £120 million runway extension. The airport also accused the council of poor communications, complaining it was not always informed in advance when important visitors or civic delegations were flying into Birmingham. Both criticisms were rejected by the council, which insisted it almost always used the airport and kept it informed.
