Manx2 has been operating 19-seater schedules to the Isle of Man and Jersey (Summer) quite successfully from Staverton (20 000pa) for the last 3 years. Aer Arann put an ATR72 in there yesterday for racing at Cheltenham, having run a week's scheduled service from DUB during the March festival.

They're also just about to start a runway safety project that removes obstacles at both ends of the runway, increases the RESA provision and declared distances, and installs ILS on 27.

There are about a dozen corporate jets based there, which, combined with the 70 000+ GA movements are the bulk of the business, but the pax do form a small niche.
