Coventry Airport plans the return of passenger flights
30.04.11
Flights from Coventry Airport to some of the UK’s major cities could be available by the end of the year as part of plans to rejuvenate the hub, the Kenilworth News reports. The airport could also have flights to holiday destinations from next year.
Sir Peter Rigby, the airport’s owner, announced plans this week at the launch of proposals to turn the airport into a ‘gateway’ to the region and create a £250 million economic hub at the site and its surrounding land. He said: ‘Everyone I have spoken to in the past year about this place was very taken by the airline services that were operating. You could park your car easily, you could walk to the terminal building without any hassle, there was a brief check-in and you could walk to the plane outside.'
‘It was quaint but well-received. People are anxious to see it come back. What is missing in my opinion was regional flights, i.e. key destinations such as Glasgow, Edinburgh or Belfast and those routes are the fifth, sixth and seventh most popular in the UK.'
