Airport expansion plans announced
31.10.08
Robin Hood Airport has its vision for the future. Owner Peel Airports has announced that the airport could undergo a substantial expansion in a bid to attract more business and leisure travellers to the region.
In its Draft Masterplan, the airport says that they expect 6.6 million passengers by 2016 and forecast that will rise to 10.8 million by 2030. Neil Pakey, deputy chief executive of Peel Airports, believes that Robin Hood will reach these targets despite environmental concerns and the fact the aviation industry has been hit hard by the global economic downturn.
He said: ‘We believe these proposals provide a balance between the economic benefits of further airport expansion and the inevitable environmental impacts which must be managed by the airport company.'
