A tendering operation has been ongoing to find a suitable company to run the airport as the current contract is due to run out, but the council has announced it will instead be creating a new subsidiary company, Blackpool Airport Operations Ltd, to manage Squires Gate.
The airport, which was bought by the council from Balfour Beatty in September 2017 for £4.25m, had been run by Stratford-based Regional and City Airports, part of the Rigby Group, which owns four airports of its own and had the licences to run two others including Blackpool.
