A curio. The Mayor said he had 20 million to build hangars and all the plans appeared. Then Airborne Colours said they were spending 6.5 million on the hangar. So who is actually paying for the new hangar?
Meant to say Cargo operations start to increase again.
That 20m extra was to help towards covid losses and expansion of airfield facilities.
We have seen Draken new Hangar built, Hangar Four being built, Jet engine (testing) blast bay plus all the associated hard standings (aprons/ taxiways), updates to radar/ airport computer systems to include new buildings and aircraft stands and utilities connections.
The Airbourne Colours investment figure could comprise of numerous costs such as equipment and plant, hangar fitting out, also other costs.
