Coventry flights continue despite enforcement notice
Flights went ahead from Coventry Airport over the Easter weekend despite an enforcement notice aimed at preventing the facility’s passenger terminal from being used. Warwick District Council issued a notice last Thursday, stating that work carried out on the terminal had breached planning regulations; the order will come into effect 28 days after it was issued but airport managers are saying that the notice should not have been served because no planning regulations have been breached. The issue has taken on extra significance since the budget carrier Thomsonfly began flying from the airport at the end of March and has plans to run some 11 European routes from Coventry. The BBC News website reports that managers at the airport, who want to see it expand, are preparing to take the matter to the High Court. The managing director of Coventry Airport, Bill Savage, is quoted as saying: “We think it is disappointing to the number of passengers who have already booked and also to the 360 new staff that have started here. It is also something of a kick in the teeth when all we have been doing is what’s in Warwick District Council’s local plan.” Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad
