Coventry Airport for sale
08.05.09
Coventry Airport has been put up for sale. The airport lost its only passenger airline last year and has seen plans for a new terminal rejected, forcing it to focus on business and freight flights.
Thomsonfly axed its services from the airport last November, blaming its increased focus on charter holiday flights rather than scheduled flights. Plans for a new terminal were dropped in February after a legal challenge to a public inquiry blocking the planning application failed.
However, airport director Brian Cox said it offered ‘excellent potential’. He said he was ‘looking forward’ to attracting another airline to Coventry in the future, adding: ‘Presently we are concentrating on developing the airport as a 'Midland hub' for cargo, executive jets and ad hoc charter operations.’
