Working With Us

Blackpool Airport Operations Ltd (BAOL) is an important hub for aviation and employment for the Fylde Coast, providing a gateway to the North Wests business and leisure destinations, with 40,000 movements last year.

Our based and visiting customers include offshore gas support operations, corporate aircraft operations and handling facilities, helicopter maintenance repair and overhaul, charter flights, fixed wing and rotary flight training, military aircraft, medevac operations, the Spitfire Museum and we host the annual Blackpool Air Show.

BAOL is currently undergoing a period of significant, transformational change.  Planning applications have been submitted for development of “Airport East” to incorporate new GA and MRO hangars, new ATC and RFFS facilities and a new fuel farm. 

Further development is planned around new corporate aircraft hangars and FBO facility once the physical development of Airport East has commenced.  These developments will support our Ten Year Plan targeting expansion of the corporate aircraft operations, bringing MRO companies and aviation support organisations to the airport, and the likely return of regional domestic scheduled passenger services.

Our staff are passionate about Blackpool Airport too, we value every person that works for us and reward them for their commitment by providing great opportunities for development and opportunities to make a real difference for our customers.
