Blackpool Airport is pleased to announce that SBL Ltd has been appointed as the contractor for our upcoming passenger handling and administration facilities building.
This important step, announced earlier this week by Blackpool Council, marks significant progress in our efforts to expand and modernise our infrastructure.
The new building will provide additional space to support our continued growth and improve our ability to efficiently handle larger charter flights. Over the past three years, we have worked closely with Hangar Three Aviation Services to expand our customer base. This collaboration has resulted in an increase in private corporate and executive aircraft charter flights, including the accommodation of larger cabin-class corporate aircraft.
This development is part of a broader series of initiatives to upgrade infrastructure at Blackpool Airport. A planning application for a new road and hangars at Airport East was submitted last year, and future plans include construction of new general aviation and executive hangars, development of a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hangar, installation of a proposed solar farm and a new fuel farm to enable the use of sustainable and alternative aviation fuels, as well as battery storage.
