The day-to-day running and management will be transferred back in-house later this year
Following a review, Blackpool Airport – which is currently owned by Blackpool Council – is set to reinstate the operational licenses back into its own name.
Ahead of the search to appoint a new operational management contractor, Blackpool Council’s owned subsidiary, Blackpool Airport Operations Ltd (BAOL) decided to re-establish operations.
This step which allows the transfer of CAA licenses to operate the airport under BAOL is a step closer to the airport achieving its long-term goals. These include maximising opportunities for growth, achieving a greater level of control and flexibility, being more efficient and cost effective and ensuring a long-term, sustainable future for the base.
