Coventry Airport enjoys busy weekend
04.05.08
Coventry Airport had its busiest weekend of the year so far last weekend, when rugby fans descended on the city for the semi-final of the Heineken Cup. Staff said the airport was packed with hundreds of supporters who turned out for the clash between Munster and Saracens at the Ricoh Arena last Sunday.
Rob Sweeney, head of operations at Coventry Airport, said they handled at least a thousand more passengers than an average weekend. He said: ‘We had an extremely busy weekend. We handled several charter aircraft carrying rugby supporters as well as the Munster team, directors and managers.'
‘The aircraft ranged from Boeing 757s to Boeing 737s as well as a number of 60 and 70-seater aircraft. In addition we handled more than a dozen private business jets.'
