MPs have today warned liquidators in charge of Blackpool Airport Ltd not
to sell off vital equipment needed to run the terminal.
Their pleas came as Zolfo Cooper, which was called in earlier this month to
deal with the huge £21m debts of the failed company, revealed it was preparing
to sell and auction off assets from the site.
Employees have been at the Squires Gate site to value and catalogue items
which can be sold to raise money to pay creditors, the largest of whom are owner
Balfour Beatty’s companies, but who also comprise non-secured creditors who are
owed £2m.
A spokesman for Manchester and London-based Zolfo said: “We don’t have a date
yet, but it is planned to auction the non-airside assets before Christmas and
the airside
assets after Christmas.”
I think the run up to when the airport closed - we were fed crap. I don't believe a buyer was possible from just August.
Thinking back BB drove off FR and did their best to put of Jet2 with their early closing hours. I reckon they took our £10 ADF cash maybe with no intention of developing the airport. Look how soon they are trying to level the land.
