Talks to reopen Coventry Airport
30.12.09
Talks are taking place with businesses about reopening Coventry Airport, the BBC reports. The city council, which owns the freehold to the site, has said it is holding discussions with two consortiums in a bid to reopen the airport, which closed earlier this month.
Passenger flights stopped at Coventry in 2008 but the airport continued to be used for business, freight and flying school flights. Deputy council leader Kevin Foster told the BBC that he was hopeful one of the consortiums would take over the airport, as it was important for jobs in the area. He added the council was committed to keeping the site as an airport as it is good for the economy.
Parent company West Midlands International Airport shut the site ahead of a winding-up hearing at the High Court at the beginning of the month. Administrators have said they are looking at a range of options to secure its future.
