More frequent internal flights 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? I love that this proposal will bring business and tourism to the area though I feel they could support the local community by supporting and helping with the introduction of a play area to entertain the children of the coastal dunes community.
Aiding the community by helping entertain children with a play area. It would be a good area for plane spotting etc and for residents kids Sponsored by yourselves would help with building bridges with everyone If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
Looks good but too have as something for us locals would be great 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? I like the ideas of new private hangars in a more appropriate position. Especially for private hangar pickups. Bring back regular short haul flights without charging too many fees against the provider as it benefits the town, economy and townspeople more to have accessible air travel. Get rid of the travel Inn, pub and car park.
This can be re-developed in a tidier, more modern, space saving manner. I would have liked to see an airport again that I could fly to Alicante It would make life so much easier for me to visit my family. A fully functioning Internatilnal airport again 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals?
I think this is very important and brings people and their money into the town. I like the sola farm idea. I think any new major project should in and beyond should aim to have as little impact on the environment as possible especially something as destructive environmentally as air travel!!
Yes please reinstate a more efficient airport. A restructure of existing businesses on the existing area suecould make the whole are more efficient If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place? They seem good 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? Nothing If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
We do not need more retail space we do need a working airport 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? Blackpool should have a working airport 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? Blackpool should have an airport 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? The highway proposals for a through router east-west are long overdue and should be welcomed by all but I can't see any mention of how sustainable transport will be enhanced - eg cycling, walking, and public transport.
There should be provision for bicycles to be ridden on a segregated safe lane through the whole of the proposed through road from east to west.
This should include the new junction on Common Edge Lane and also the existing currently dangerous for bicycles junction on Squires Gate Lane. There should also be suitable provision for the safe and secure parking of bicycles. I believe the proposals for this airport is amazing. I believe that the runway needs to be extended to be able to accomidate bigger aircraft in the future.
I believe that if Blackpool Airport can reach a deal with EasyJet to begin flights to Europe direct from Blackpool it would be a huge success and would help boost the local economy, create more jobs for the local people and bring more business into Blackpool maybe even encouraging potential tourists from Europe.
If Blackpool Airport decides to reopen as a commercial airport, they should definitely try to get EasyJet to start operations as they are a very popular, reputable airline and I believe they would be very popular for people travelling through the airport. Perhaps Blackpool Airport could pilot an airline from abroad to start flights such as Vueling airlines, Agean, Are Lingus Should have been left as an airport If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
Lancashire energy turned back into an airport terminal 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? If you could develop the land build a hotel there make a shopping mall bring business and people to the area and keep the money going round and coming back in. The scheme seems to be taking things in the right direction. Sounds good to me.
Nothing - the council took ownership so that it could control the land development If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place? The entire town except the council wants commercial flights to resume and the master plan has no provision 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals?
Increase of jobs infrastructure to local area. Relocation of atc tower, new hangars. Maybe eventually international flights to places like Dublin and Amsterdam. Encourage companies like Loganair and Aer Lingus to set up a base here. Possibly make Queensway a dual carriageway or flyover. Disapointing that you are wanting to increase traffic in an already highly congested area.
The link road of Queensway to St Annes from Blackpool is horrendous to get through any day. Please wait until the new link road from Cyprus point is in place to the back of whitehills, that would still give residents two options to get to Blackpool.
See below If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place? Bring back budget airlines and reopen as an airport to the general public for flights to Spain, Portugal etc 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? Entrance of division lane If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
What a muddled mess.! Halfway House junction will be a traffic jam and Amy Johnson Way a rat run! Blackpool Airport International, who is in cloud cuckoo land? Far too much hangar and apron area in a shrinking market. Airport should be properly scaled down. GA will not be able to afford new hangars with one assumes much higher rent and rates. Corporate travel does not work from Blackpool.
What a disgraceful design effort, oh dear! I would scrap the whole plan by the time this is running the whole Aviation scene will change and third line airfields like Blackpool Airport will be finished. Put yourselves 25 yrs ahead and tell me what you predict? Then 50 years the life of the development, not something properly considered. The Aviation Party is over at Blackpool following years of bad management it is very difficult for tenants to make even wages.
A good beginning, but it can be more ambitious. Add to the development of the airport the following: 1.
This would send out a message that Blackpool EZ is forward thinking and a viable high tech digital option for investors. Also by being relatively early in this advanced airport technology it would become a showcase for other regional airports in the UK, Europe and indeed the rest of the world! This would be cost effective, flexible and quick to install or remove as appropriate without large capital investment for a vanity project that may never be fully used.
Love the fact that the airport Is being invested in and that looking for growth of airport and the region. Create a new terminal capable of supporting commercial flights and commercial airlines. Need to look at maintenance in order to attract other airlines to use the airports services. I don't know much about the required layout for airports but there doesn't seem to be much consideration for its future development as an airport for international flights.
Where's the terminal? I would like to see more consideration given to the development of the airport itself to allow for international flights once more.
Blackpool Airport needs a terminal and a plan to promote it Or have you totally given up on this idea? Money has been wasted building a college that by all accounts has been unsuccessful Let's not make the same mistake again 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? The "Knowledge Quarter" proposal is dubious and probably means that the Airport will never have a commercial flying role.
There is NO mention or acknowledgement of the Air Heritage and History, which should be made a priority. COVID means that there are greater opportunities for local Air travel and freight, It also will also see an up turn in Staycations, therefore Blackpool needs to maximise this with additional attractions, transport and connectivity.
Finally, there needs to a commitment to hosting Air Display teams and aircraft, as there are significant Display around the North West that require a high calibre facility, occupants of the Airport already have a great reputation for this and need to be supported fully.
See above 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? I think the proposals have merit, but could be improved with some amendments. We should strive to continue to attract executive and General Aviation aircraft by keeping costs low and airline operations could follow in time. Charters to European destinations would be popular and more domestic flights should follow.
The current runway length of metres would have to be reduced. Please see above. This would help smaller GA aircraft when more northerly or southerly winds occur so operations are not suspended owing to crosswinds in exceeding limits.
Care should also be taken to provide cafe and light meal refreshments in a friendly atmosphere to attract patronage from airport users, including pilots, passengers and service and engineering personnel. There is no way a truncated airport like that is going to work It seems to me and others that this is a thinly disguised sop before the building developers move in I flew with the the then Jersey European Airways for several years out of Blackpool with full payloads on our Bpl Iom Bhd routes If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
A total revamp of proposals 5 months ago What do you like about the proposals? I like the majority of the proposals, my only recommendation is below If you could change any parts of this scheme, what would they be, and what would you like to see in their place?
Generally I like the look of the proposals put forward, but being a resident in South Shore I think this area of Blackpool would significantly benefit from a second Household Waste Recycling Centre. This would in turn create jobs, reduce queuing at the Bispham site and make life easier for residents. Retention of airport facilities on the Fylde coast for both commercial and private aviation use. Development of same and encouragement of more aviation related businesses on site , with potential increase in aircraft and helicopter traffic.
Ability to expand runway length if required to be maintained. Ability to function as a bona fide diversion airfield for commercial services. Improved car parking for onsite use , cafeteria facility for public with both indoor and outside viewing areas with unrestricted close up not remote location. Support for Aviation Museum and existing Hangar 42 facility as tourist attraction. Increased investment in airfield capabilities and upkeep.
Possible addition of planned new site on regular bus route. Less bleeding off of airport land for football pitches and industrial units Definitely no housing developments.
This council never listens to the people who elected them, what ever development occurs it must include provision for expansion of commercial aviation.
Shame on the council and planners if this fantastic under developed airport does Not have a future for the next generation.
